A museum is an institution that cares for a collection of artifacts and other objects of scientific, artistic, cultural, or historical importance and makes them available for public viewing through exhibits that may be permanent or temporary. Most large museums are located in major cities throughout the world and more local ones exist in smaller cities, towns and even the countryside. The continuing acceleration in the digitization of information, combined with the increasing capacity of digital information storage, is causing the traditional model of museums (i.e. as static “collections of collections” of three-dimensional specimens and artifacts) to expand to include virtual exhibits and high-resolution images of their collections for perusal, study, and exploration from any place with Internet connectivity.
The English "museum" comes from the Latin word, and is pluralized as "museums" (or rarely, "musea"). It is originally from the Greek Μουσεῖον (Mouseion), which denotes a place or temple dedicated to the Muses (the patron divinities in Greek mythology of the arts), and hence a building set apart for study and the arts, especially the Musaeum (institute) for philosophy and research at Alexandria by Ptolemy I Soter about 280 BCE. The first museum/library is considered to be the one of Plato in Athens. However, Pausanias gives another place called "Museum", namely a small hill in Classical Athens opposite the Akropolis. The hill was called Mouseion after Mousaious, a man who used to sing on the hill and died there of old age and was subsequently buried there as well.

His father, Robert Fitzgerald Williams (September 10, 1906 – October 18, 1987), was a senior executive at Ford Motor Company in charge of the Midwest region. His maternal great-great-grandfather was senator and Mississippi governor Anselm J. McLaurin. Williams is of English, Welsh, Irish, and French ancestry. He was raised in the Episcopal Church (his mother practiced Christian Science). He grew up in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, where he was a student at the Detroit Country Day School, and later moved to Woodacre, Marin County, California, where he attended the public Redwood High School. Williams studied at Claremont McKenna College (then called Claremont Men's College) for four years. He has two half-brothers: Todd (who died August 14, 2007) and McLaurin.

I drink sweet wine for breakfast
I slept but an hour or so
I smiled a little in the silence
Decding on where to go
Meet me under the whale
At the natural history museum
I think that's what she said
A little bit said about having to leave them
Yawning in the sun
It's like a child I run
Don't do it if you don't want to
I wouldn't do a thing like that
Now don't do it if you don't want to
I wouldn't do a thing like that
So little do you think of beauty
Isn't it a shame what-ho
Maybe you should go get your parents
And make all your troubles go
There she stood in drag
Looking cool in astrakhan
She's lookin' a little wiped out
She said I looked like Peter Pan
And yawning in the sun
It's like a child I run
Don't do it if you don't want to
I wouldn't do a thing like that
Now don't do it if you don't want to
I wouldn't do a thing like that
Now don't do it if you don't want to
I wouldn't do a thing like that
Now don't do it if you don't want to
I wouldn't do a thing like that
You hear them call your name
From your room, far removed
Don't let 'em use you in, every way
Stay unchained, around and 'round you go
They'll never know, what you've seen
Why have you turned away, you can believe, believe in me
Couldn't you try one time
See if they'll run, for a while, it's a solitary star
Shining precious light, light on me
When I see your eyes
Tell me what you find
But I oughtta know, by now
Did you hear them call your name
From your room, far removed
I'd only use you in, every way
Stay unchained, it's a solitary star
I walked home alone today
Quickly I was lost along the way
Till You stepped out in front of me
You took my hands and said come on and follow me
This is love
That You shine on the darkness all around us
It all just disappears
You shine on the walls that crash around us
Whenever You are near
Whoa, whoa
You and me we used to be
Lovers torn and lost along the way
Until heaven came and rescued me
I found grace right in front of me
This is love
That You shine on the darkness all around us
It all just disappears
You shine on the walls that crash around us
Whenever You are near
We'll never be the same
'Cause You never look away
We'll never be the same
'Cause You never look away
That You shine on the darkness all around
Yeah, You shine on the walls that crash around us
Whenever You are near
'Cause You shine on the darkness all around us
It all just disappears
And You shine on the walls that crash around us
Whenever You are near
You never look away
You never look away
I drink sweet wine for breakfast, I slept about an hour or so
Smiled a little in the silence deciding on where to go.
"Meet me under the whale in the Natural History Museum,"
I think that's what she said, a little bit sad about having to leave them.
Yawning in the sun, like a child I run.
But don't do it if you don't want to, I wouldn't do a thing like that.
No, don't it if you don't want to, I wouldn't do a thing like that.
How little do you speak of beauty, isn't it a shame, what ho
Maybe you should go get a power ring, you'd make all your troubles go.
There she stood in drag, just-a lookin' cool in astrakhan.
She's lookin' just a little wiped out, she said I looked like Peter Pan.
Yawning in the sun, oh baby, like a child I run.
But don't do it if you don't want to,
I wouldn't do a thing like that.
Oh no, no, don't do it if you don't want to,
I wouldn't do a thing like that.
Every time I look at You, You're smiling at me
Every time I walk to You, You're running to me
Every time I lift my hands, You're reaching for me
Even in the eye of the storm I look to You, beloved I'm Yours
All I see is a hurricane
All I feel is an earthquake
When I'm weak, You are stronger now
So I walk on water like it's solid ground
Every time I wander off, You're looking for me
Every time I cry to sleep, You're weeping with me
Every time I get back up, You're dancing with me
Even in the eye of the storm I look to You, beloved I'm Yours
All I see is a hurricane
All I feel is an earthquake
When I'm weak, You are stronger now
So I walk on water like it's solid ground
I walk on water like it's solid ground
No eye has seen, no ear has heard
No mind can understand
All the good that goes to those
Who hold tight to His hand
All I see is a hurricane
All I feel is an earthquake
When I'm weak, You are stronger now
So I walk on water like it's solid ground
All I see is a hurricane
All I feel is an earthquake
When I'm weak, You are stronger now
So I walk on water like it's solid ground
I am an artist, I won't crawl
I'll paint a picture of my heart
And hang it on a wall
It's my sweet release
It's my masterpiece
Hanging on a wall in a museum
You can hurt me but I'll fight back
I'll rearrange the shadows and the light
'Til the colors turn to black
'Til my broken heart
Is a work of art
Hanging on a wall in a museum
And I'll paint the golden summers
And I'll paint the starry nights
And I'll paint the bloody battles
And the refuse of the fight
Like a message in a bottle
Like a ghost beyond the grave
You're looking for some meaning
But it's my life I'm trying to save
I am a stranger to myself
Not living breathing flesh and blood
But dust upon a shelf
It's my joy and my strife
It's my lot in life
From the album mellow yellow
I drink sweet wine for breakfast, I slept about an hour or so
Smiled a little in the silence deciding on where to go.

Sounds all of my life
have torn me in two
and turned me into a dick
and this fire in which I'm held it so tight and so true, truth too bad for you
Carve into this earth
my tantrums and turns
my dramas my neat fight picket fence
oh lord its embarrassing for me
cause its so bright its so bright it so bright, bright I may die
Real, I'm trying to be real
Trying to be a legitimate source of excitement
and a sponge to how we all feel
but I'm post up and fixed in with your ratty little nails
I've got no heart I've got not heart, I've got no heart
+ and I cry, with only one eye
+ with only one eye
+ Oooooh
+ I've got not heart, I've got no heart, I've got no fucking heart
I walked home alone today

Yeah, You shine on the walls that crash around us
Whenever You are near
'Cause You shine on the darkness all around us
It all just disappears
And You shine on the walls that crash around us
Whenever You are near
You never look away
Money never had so steep a price,
Where do we get the right to sell one's life?
Don't you see the pain in her hopeless eyes
One day her dream escaped into the night,
Darkness overtook the pale moonlight
Minutes turned to days and soon to years,
Now she can't remember life before these tears
I wanna look into your eyes on a beautiful night
Freedom ringing on through the quiet sky
Saying you and I, we are not for sale
Just to hold you in my arms and make this right
The moment you've been waiting for all your life
Cause you and I, we are not for sale
Not for sale
We're fighting power and greed for the suffering
We're bringing hope back to the least of these
But where we do stand, where do we start to fight?
I still believe we can be the cure,
We can carry the love for the whole world to hear
We gotta find a way to make it right,
Cause we're fighting here for a human life
I wanna look into your eyes on a beautiful night
Freedom ringing on through the quiet sky
Saying you and I, we are not for sale
Just to hold you in my arms and make this right
The moment you've been waiting for all your life
Cause you and I, we are not for sale
Not for sale
I can feel we are closer now, I believe we can hear the sound
Hope is coming for the broken down, we are not for sale
I wanna look into your eyes on a beautiful night
Freedom ringing on through the quiet skies
You and I, we are not for sale
I wanna look into your eyes on a beautiful night
Freedom ringing on through the quiet sky
Saying you and I, we are not for sale
Just to hold you in my arms and make this right
The moment you've been waiting for all your life
Cause you and I, we are not for sale
Show me who You are, the depth within Your eyes
Find my wandering heart, let grace restore my sight
I want to see You as you are
I want to know Your every word
I want to draw much closer still
I want to know You more than words
More than words
I'm running through the dark, illuminate the night
I'm trusting with my heart, that You will be my light, be my light
I want to see You as you are
I want to know Your every word
I want to draw much closer still
I want to know You more than words
More than words
So I run back to You, back to where I belong
Lost myself in this world, now I know I was wrong
So I bow down to You, throw myself at Your throne
There's so much I want to know
I want to see You as you are
I want to know Your every word
I want to see You as you are
I want to know Your every word
I want to draw much closer still
I want to know You more than words
Give me faith to wait on You
Give me peace to be still
You're the only hope I lean on
Give me faith to wait on You
In my darkest hour I see
You will not forget me
When I'm lost and so afraid
Your love still remains
You're my only rescue
In a world full of let down
When it's all falling down in Your love I am found
You're my only rescue
In my strength be stronger still
In my weakness be revealed
When my world's crashes down, in the chaos here I've found...
You're my only rescue
In a world full of let down
When it's all falling down in Your love I am found
You're my only rescue
You are love unfailing, hope unending, You will always be
In your arms I find my strength will rise, forever I believe
When my world crashes down, in the chaos all around
You're my only rescue
In a world full of let down
When it's all falling down in Your love I am found
You're my only rescue
[x2]
When darkness hides the rising sun
I will trust in You
When weakness has become my song
I will trust in You, only You
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus, His righteousness
When all around my soul gives way
I will trust in Jesus name
No grave could hold You in it's arms
You have overcome
Nothing could take away this love
I am standing on
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus, His righteousness
When all around my soul gives way
I will trust in Jesus name
[X2]
My hope is built on You (and only You)
My hope is built on You (and only You)
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus, His righteousness
When all around my soul gives way
I will trust in Jesus name
Monday morning put his feet on the floor,
Put on his clothes and walked out the door
Begins to wonder what he's doing it for,
He's thinking inside there's gotta be more
It's never easy when you're taking a chance,
And you don't know where to begin
But Tuesday morning put your feet on the floor,
Take a deep breath and run through the door
Open up, fall in love, this could be your chance
Go on now, embrace the innocence
Dreams are born, life is changed when you take a risk
Go on now, you were made for this
So just get lost in a moment
Feels like we're running just to get ahead,
But we grow up too fast for moments to last
Nobody knows how many hours they have,
So live every day, don't throw them away
Every second is a beautiful chance for life to be discovered
Open up, fall in love, this could be your chance
Go on now, embrace the innocence
Dreams are born, life is changed when you take a risk
Go on now, you were made for this
So just get lost in a moment
Open up your heart, open up your eyes and take it in for the first time
Don't let go, don't run away, you will never be the same
So just get lost in a moment
Open up, fall in love, this could be your chance
Go on now, embrace the innocence
Dreams are born, life is changed when you take a risk
Go on now, you were made for this
So just get lost in a moment
What can compare to You oh God
To Your loving ways, it's blowing my mind
With every beat of my beating heart
That beats for you, You give me life
Gonna lift, gonna lift, gonna lift my voice
It's rising up, rising up, like a mighty noise
This love inside is running over
Can You hear the joyous sound
Almighty God, we're coming closer
Can You hear us crying out
Whoa oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh oh
Because of You, I'm so amazed
I'm taken back by the beauty of a King
With every breath I'm breathing out
I breathe for You, the song I sing
Gonna lift, gonna lift, gonna lift my voice
It's rising up, rising up, like a mighty noise
This love inside is running over
Can You hear the joyous sound
Almighty God, we're coming closer
Can You hear us crying out
Whoa oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh oh
We can't contain this song inside
We lift our voice cause You gave us life
The hope we have is building now
And we can't help but sing it out
This love inside is running over
Can You hear the joyous sound
Almighty God, we're coming closer
Can You hear us crying out
Whoa oh oh oh
I know that I am not my own
You paid the price that I should owe
Without Your grace, I'm nothing
Even before the world began
You chose to love me as I am
Without Your grace, I'm nothing
I'm found in You
Wherever I go Your love surrounds me
I'm found in You
Every day I feel You holding
On to my heart,
All my fears fade away
I'm found in You
I'm found in You
Speak and my heart is satisfied
Breathe and these bones will come to life
Without Your grace, I'm nothing
And when I run away so far
You call me back to where You are
Without Your grace I'm nothing
I'm found in You
Wherever I go Your love surrounds me
I'm found in You
Every day I feel You holding
On to my heart,
All my fears fade away
I'm found in You
I'm found in You
I once was lost but You reached out
I once was lost but now
I'm found in You
Wherever I go Your love surrounds me
I'm found in You
Every day I feel You holding
On to my heart,
All my fears fade away
I'm found in You
I'm found in You
