History of Museums
Museums first started being established in America in 1786, one of these was founded by Charles Willson Peale a collector as well as a painter. He filled his museum with portraits of George Washington adding bones from a woolly mammoth later. In 1840 PT Barnum created museums that offered entertainment such as bearded ladies, a hippo that was suppose to be "The Great Behemoth of the Scriptures" among other oddities. However some historians say these types of museums were more of a freak show. Today some museums use what used to be called a freak show as a way of educating people on abnormalities and defects of genetics.http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=97377145
