Welcome to the Museums WikiProject! A chunk of this text has been stolen borrowed under GFDL ;) from other Wiki Projects.
- Goals
- Improve Wikipedia's coverage of museums.
- Improve quality of existing articles
- Expand smaller museums in non-English dominant countries where articles are little more than a sentence.
- Create guidelines for articles about museums.
- Scope
- The project covers all articles about museums in a wide range of disciplines and locations throughout the world. By member consensus, it does not include aquaria, herbaria, zoos and other non-museum 'collections' because these are well-covered in other projects.
- For those within the museum sector, and collaborations between Wikipedia and institutions, see Wikipedia:Advice for the cultural sector.
To Do
[edit]- Wikipedia:WikiProject Museums/Requested Articles: these articles have been requested, but not yet written
- Wikipedia:WikiProject Museums/Requests for Expansion: these stubs have been created, but they could do with some expansion
Ongoing cleanup
[edit]There is an ongoing cleanup/developing in the undeveloped stub articles of Category:Museums in Greece to determine which of them meet with notability standards, develop them to at least basic stubs and nominate for deletion all the rest. You can help here. Participants: User:Thaliapap, User:Hoverfish
Maintenance categories
[edit]
A list of articles needing cleanup associated with this project is available. See also the tool's wiki page and the index of WikiProjects.

All the information I can find on this museum seems to be pages from before 2010 announcing the design contest, winning design and plans. I have been unable to find any sign that the construction has been completed or is still ongoing, and the page for the architect (Zaha Hadid) states that this project is on hold. I have found no information that indicates that work is planned to resume at some point and given that all the information I can find is 15+ years old think this fails WP:FUTURE Giuliotf (talk) 11:34, 10 July 2025 (UTC)

These articles have basically the same problems as are currently leading to a SNOW delete at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Library of Congress Classifications; they are inherently against WP:NOTCATALOG. * Pppery * it has begun... 02:42, 7 July 2025 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Museums and libraries and Lists. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 04:17, 7 July 2025 (UTC)
- Keep, yes, they are a catalogue. But this is a rather interesting situation, because inherently they are a cataloguing system for finding information. We are an encyclopaedia that provides information, and many of the subjects in this list are blue-linked to other articles, from which readers can get to places. This list is therefore, in a strange sort of way, an index into Wikipedia ideally suited to those who think like a librarian, and organise their knowledge by library book numbers. Secondly, removing this leaves the reader of the main article on the system itself (at Dewey Decimal Classification) rather in the lurch, thinking "Now I know how this system developed, but what does it actually look like?". Thirdly, it's weirdly counter-productive when an organisation as fixated on sourcing as we are decides to remove a list that actively helps our readers find sources in their local library. Overall, this deletion feels like pointless rule-following when the result is clearly to shoot ourselves (and our readers) firmly in the feet. Elemimele (talk) 07:12, 7 July 2025 (UTC)
- ... I should clarify it is the basic list of Dewey decimal classes that I'm suggesting keeping. I have no opinion on the comparison article. Elemimele (talk) 07:14, 7 July 2025 (UTC)
*::I'm confused: which comparison article do you mean? Logoshimpo (talk) 22:14, 10 July 2025 (UTC)
- Delete all Per nom. I'm not convinced by User:Elemimele's argument as I don't see any policy being quoted by her. With regards to Comparison of Dewey and Library of Congress subject classification: there isn't any WP:RS establish WP:N. Logoshimpo (talk) 22:12, 10 July 2025 (UTC)
- This in my opinion is the biggest problem with Wikipedia. So many editors are more concerned about rules than the actual utility of articles.
- The thing is that hundreds of people reference this article daily, and it seems that they do so for academic purposes (there’s a notable drop in page-views over the weekend).
- Rules are important, but some of the rules on Wikipedia do seem to make it difficult for information that would be helpful to have on Wikipedia from being here.
- I understand that WP:PAGEVIEW does not measure WP:NOTE. You can argue that this argument completely fails under WP:ENCYCLOPEDIC, but more importantly I still fail to truly see what part of WP:NOTCATALOG this page violates. USA1855 (talk) 22:28, 11 July 2025 (UTC)
- Delete Per nom. Regarding the pages listing all Dewey classes: it is inherently non-encyclopedic in nature. While the hyperlinks as a jumping off point can be nice, where to hyperlink within Wikipedia feels inherently subjective. Long-term, the function these lists serve could be replaced by an external link on the DDC page to a public domain DDC chart, which would serve the same purpose (which is what's happening in the LCC page). Regarding the comparison article (Comparison of Dewey and Library of Congress subject classification): a quick search of the internet reveals many external sources that provides similar, if not better functions to this article (e.g., this article by Kilgore college; thislink to a very comprehensive table that's already presented as an external link in the article in question (along with the DDC to LCC version), which could be moved to the respective DDC and LCC articles to provide additional resources). I feel that given the non-encyclopedic nature of this article (reproducing material available elsewhere), this article should be deleted.Hthundercroft (talk) 03:09, 11 July 2025 (UTC)
- Keep at least as far as the first one. This feels like a clear WP:Ignore all rules moment, where getting rid of it would be an objective loss for Wikipedia, and following the letter of the rule is detrimental. I am inclined to believe that the explanation of the Dewey decimal system is incomplete without this list, and that it serves a valuable (though admittedly narrow) navigational function. – Ike Lek (talk) 22:44, 11 July 2025 (UTC)
- For the first article, either Keep or move to Portalspace, for similar reasons that I outlined at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Library of Congress Classifications. Serve as useful navigational aides. For the second, delete as WP:OR. -insert valid name here- (talk) 00:10, 13 July 2025 (UTC)

- Delete- as per WP:NOTCATALOG pointed out by Nom, to better streamline Wikipedia Entries as it is.Lorraine Crane (talk) 05:11, 11 July 2025 (UTC)
- Move to Portalspace. While these pages are unsuitable for mainspace articles, they work well as a way of navigating the encyclopedia. Keep in mind that these articles have a serious history, dating back to 2002. To straight-up delete this navigational aid with no replacement would not improve the encyclopedia. -insert valid name here- (talk) 00:04, 13 July 2025 (UTC)

Categories
[edit]Category:Museums and Category:Exhibitions are the primary categories for this project. Many subcats can be found from those links.
Resources
[edit]Some resources which may be useful for those writing articles about museums:
- Culture24 – information on many UK museums
- Visitor statistics for UK attractions
- Monthly museum & gallery visits figures from the UK's Department for Culture, Media and Sport
- Geograph (for photos in the UK) is really good & all CC licensed so can be used – there is even a simple template {{geograph | image-number | author}} for adding them on upload which marks them for transfer to commons.
- Museums: Virtual Library museums pages (VLmp)
- MuseumRegister | an international directory of museums in all categories
