An art gallery, often known as an art museum, is a structure or place dedicated to displaying art, most commonly visual art. We name a gallery has evolved to mean a collection of something in its most basic form. Paintings are the most frequently displayed art pieces, but sculpture, decorative arts, furniture, textiles, clothing, drawings, pastels, water colors, collages, prints, artists books, photography, and installation art are also frequently presented. Other artistic events, such as performance art, music concerts, or poetry readings, are sometimes held in art galleries. Art exhibitions have traditionally served as a venue for art objects (in the broadest sense) to interact with an audience. By showcasing high-quality artworks and providing a platform for interaction between artists and collectors, the gallery has been actively involved in recognizing and promoting emerging talent, raising art awareness among old and new collectors, and creating an awareness of art among old and new collectors.
The gallery promotes future and emerging artists whose work, in addition to being of high quality, is inexpensive and represents good value for money for collectors and provides an adequate recompense for the artists' creative talent.

A museum is a structure or institution dedicated to the care and display of artefacts and other things of aesthetic, cultural, historical, or scientific significance. Numerous public museums make these artefacts accessible to the public through permanent or temporary exhibits.  While the world's largest museums are concentrated in major cities, thousands of smaller museums exist in smaller cities, towns, and rural locations.
Museums serve various purposes, from conservation and documentation to assisting researchers and professionals with the general public. Serving researchers is not only scientific in nature; it is also intended to benefit the general public.
Museums come in various forms, including art galleries, natural history museums, scientific galleries, war galleries, and children's museums. The International Council of Museums (ICOM) estimates over 55,000 museums in 202 countries.

A library is a collection of sources, resources, and services and the facility that houses them and organized for public use and maintained by a government agency, an institution, or a private individual. In the more traditional meaning, a library is a collection of books. It can refer to the collection itself, the structure or chamber in which it is housed, or both. The term "library" has acquired a secondary meaning: "a collection of helpful materials intended for public use." Computer science, mathematics, statistics, electronics, and biology all make use of this sense.
Additionally, publishers might use it to name a series of connected novels. Libraries frequently provide a quiet space for studying.

Thus, modern libraries are rapidly being reimagined as venues where users can obtain unrestricted access to various forms and sources of knowledge. They are expanding services beyond the confines of a physical building by making material available electronically and assisting librarians in navigating and analysing massive volumes of information using a range of digital technologies.

Human achievement in the academic and cultural fields is documented in various scripts and languages on different writing materials found around the world. These records are well preserved in libraries, which mean the "storehouse of such reading material." They are indeed part of humanity's intellectual and cultural heritage, as they transmit to any seeker of information the vast storehouse of knowledge they possess. They are fountains of knowledge that the reader can use for instruction, inspiration, information, or recreation. Today's library image is fully developed, with a collection of materials and modern equipment for the reader, such as a computer, microfilm, and CD Rom. Today, the concept of a paperless library is gaining traction. Libraries are living organisms their fundamental constituents are books, readers, and staff, all of whom grow from time to time in a library that lives up to its mission. As the collection increases, it must be organized methodically to accommodate the increasing number of users; the library system should assist users in locating required papers. The staff should add new and efficient services as they grow.

The fact many different people generally use libraries, even though Internet access is not subject to the constraints of time and place, is not generally related to the architecture of library buildings for libraries continue to be indispensable as places of academic study. However, when a library becomes a tourist attraction, its architecture usually does have something to do with this development. Since the building of the ICMC/IKMZ of the Brandenburg Technical University Cottbus was opened in February 2005, has been visited by approximately 20,000 tourists.
The two following aspects probably play a decisive role here: Library buildings, like books, have their destinies. A library's ambience and location influences its architecture, which either follows traditional approaches to library design or represents a conscious to break with traditional paradigms. The former sports ground on which the IKMZ building stands does not, in principle, evoke any historical associations. This, combined with the fact the university town of Cottbus has a relatively young academic tradition, means that little consideration need be paid to the "past". This, in turn, makes it possible to create a future in an open-minded fashion. In other words, the building's functions could be realized without always having to adopt tried and-tested models, and executed as an architectural experiment, paying attention to the requirements of a library building. In this connection, the decisive question is whether the library building has both the components of a central reading room traditionally considered essential and a clearly identifiably stacks; for it is these two parameters that transform a building designed in accordance with traditional criteria into a library.

Introduction State Hermitage Museum In St. Petersburg

# data[].attributes.body
Founded by Catherine the Great in 1764, the State Hermitage Museum in Russia is one of the largest and oldest museums in the world. Its rich and diverse collection includes Buddhist frescoes, Islamic and Oriental artefacts, Roman and Greek antiquities, Scythian and Greek work in gold, as well as masterpieces of world-class European artists such as Rembrandt, Leonardo da Vinci, Matisse and Rubens. With three million objects displayed in six buildings along the Neva River, the Hermitage Museum occupies an important position among the best-known museums in the world. In 2002, along with the Louvre, Metropolitan Museum of Art, British Museum and other leading institutions from Europe and North America, the Hermitage signed the ‘Declaration on the Importance and Value of Universal Museums’. The Declaration stressed a unique role of these museums as key actors of cultural diplomacy ‘in cultivating a better comprehension of different civilizations and in promoting respect between them. It placed these museums at the center of transnational exchanges and practices of material and intellectual acquisitions associated with objects representing human heritage across time and space. With its world-recognized reputation as a ‘universal’ or global museum, however, the Hermitage is also the most important icon of Russian imperial heritage, national culture and arts. By Decree of the President of the Russian Federation, the State Hermitage Museum was designated part of the National Heritage of the Russian people. It is the only museum in the country that has its own line in the federal budget. The Hermitage receives 83 per cent of its funding directly from the Russian government and not through the Ministry of Culture.

Introduction National Archive Of Pakistan

# data[].attributes.body
The archival profession in Pakistan is in its formative stage. Information on archives and archival development in the country is rather obscure. Periodical literature is very limited with the exception of a few journal articles written primarily by visiting experts during the early 1980s, there is very little on the subject for international readers. As a matter of fact, these writings could be termed as neither comprehensive nor current. Their authors, for the most part, depended on their limited personal observations or information conveyed to them by individuals and government functionaries with whom they met in connection with their assignments. Of the indigenous sources, Pakistan Archives, a biannual publication of the Directorate of Archives of the government of Pakistan, deserves special mention. The same Directorate also publishes a newsletter. But these publications are not issued regularly. Moreover, obtaining these publications is a

Herculean task in itself, mainly because of the bureaucracy involved. The Pakistan Library Bulletin, the sole regular journal of its kind, occasionally publishes contributions on archival subjects. There is also a booklet entitled, National Archives of Pakistan (1981), published by the Directorate of Archives. The first and only publication to appear in Urdu, the national language of Pakistan, Tahafuzz Dustavezat wa Kutubkhana (Preservation of Documents and Libraries), by Ashraf Ali, is also a valuable source for its coverage of the development of archives in Pakistan. But it is not well organized; its coverage on certain topics is sketchy and lacks proper documentation. The print media has always been aware of the need to develop archives in the country. For example, the Dawn, a leading English language daily from Pakistan, has included some important editorials on the subject. What follows is an attempt to trace the origin and development of archives in Pakistan, review the activities of the National Archives of Pakistan and other important archival institutions and agencies, and discuss those archival training facilities available in the country. Some of the archival problems of current interest are also discussed, along with suggestions that would improve the archival landscape in Pakistan.

It is the queen’s private gallery to collect paintings and is adjacent to the Winter Palace. In 1840 to 1852, the Hermitage was rebuilt under Nicholas' direction and in 1852, it was only opened to the public. The imperial collection became public property after the October Revolution of 1917, in the 1920s the museum was expanded with art acquired from the private sector. To underwrite the purchase of industrial machinery from the West, the Soviet government sold several masterpieces during the impetus for rapid industrialization, in 1930 to 1934. In the late 19th to early 20th centuries, during the post-World War II period, the collection European art has expanded significantly.

Function & Activity

Hermitage Theatre

The theatre has always been part of the royal family, although it was rarely used until the revolution. After unsuccessful attempts by the great avant-garde director Vsevolod Meyerhold to revive the theatre, the building was transferred to the State Hermitage Museum and used primarily as a lecture hall and conference hall, a function that is still in place today. However, in recent years it has been increasingly used as a conference hall for various classical music and ballet performances. The musical programme is rich and varied, with several international festivals and the theatre's own orchestra, the St. Petersburg Camerata. The ballet there, with tourists as its main target, performs limited performances of Russian classics to a very high standard in a strictly traditional manner. The theatre is especially worth considering during the summer months, when the Mariinsky Theatre is closed and many top performers can be seen here.

Winter Palace and Main Museum Complex

Visiting this incredible collection can be a daunting experience, especially if tourists don't plan to book a guided tour. With 350 exhibition halls, the museum welcomes more than 2.5 million visitors a year, and the crowds are unusual. It's worth planning ahead to make the most of a visit to the Hermitage. To help visitors, the director has divided up the Hermitage guide, covering each section of the exhibition separately and detailing the highlights of each section. One ticket covers all the collections of the Hermitage complex, with the exception of the Treasure Gallery, which can only be entered as part of a guided tour. Video and camera photography inside the museum must be purchased separately. Tickets can also be booked over the internet, which is more expensive but helps avoid queues, which can be a problem for tourists during the peak summer tourist season.

The Great (Old) Hermitage

The building is also decorated with statues and bas-reliefs depicting famous artists, architects and sculptors of the past. Classical, Renaissance and Baroque ornaments enliven the massive surfaces of the building's façade. The building has no order-indicating elements such as columns or pilasters, but its structure is entirely determined by the proportions of the classical order. The lower part of the building, large and rustic, is balanced by the lighter upper part. The decorative scheme of the facade is based on a rhythmic combination of horizontal divisions and vertical window apertures.

The Small Hermitage

Late Baroque and early Neoclassical elements were successfully combined to create the building. The decorative pattern of the building follows the canon of Neoclassicalism, while also reflecting the strict proportions of this style, referring to the architectural structure of the Hermitage. The rhythm of the Corinthian columns on the second floor of the pavilion emphasizes the architectural unity of the two buildings of very different styles. The south and north buildings are connected to the galleries on both sides by sky gardens (raised to the first floor). The entire complex was named the Little Hermitage in honor of Catherine II's purpose of hosting an entertainment evening in the North Pavilion, which she called the "Small Hermitage".

The Winter Palace

All facades are decorated with two-story colonnades. Forming a complex vertical rhythm with the columns soaring upwards, this movement contains numerous statues and vases on the roof. A large number of moulded decorations – peculiar cornices and lintels, macarons, circular ornaments, rocalls and various pediments – create an extremely rich range of light and shadow effects that add a flamboyant colour to the building’s exterior.

Based on an identical architectural theme, Rastrelli gave each of the palace's four facades a different structural rhythm. The south façade, overlooking the square, has a formal grandeur. Here, the architects pierced the building with three arches to create a grand entrance into the courtyard and accentuate it with vertical elements of paired columns. The imposing north façade, giving the impression of an endless colonnade, faces the vast Neva River. The west façade opposite the Admiralty is reminiscent of the combination of a country palace and a small courtyard. The massive east façade with its massive wing forms a large plaza of honor, turning towards Millionnaya Street, where the aristocratic mansions are located.

The New Hermitage

The New Hermitage, built in the historicist style from 1842-1851, is characterized by the simplicity and monumentality of the structure and the balance of the building's volumes. The entrance to the museum has a grand porch supported by Atlantean figures cut from grey granite from the studio of Alexander Terebenev.

We should maintain our commitment to keeping these three sources of information. So it can be sources of this generation and the future young generation to keep receiving knowledge and have the basic
knowledge for their own self and the society. It can be seen here, that information agencies
such as museum, library, and archive are the best way for the public
to use in order to preserve information and other stuff. By doing that, knowledge is not
only limited in school or university, moreover, people can also learn outside from there. In Fact, the
knowledge that people can retrieve out there will probably be more than the knowledge that a student can get. This is because they can learn more deeply when they can see themselves.
