Inclusion is a value of museum that means creating spaces where people of all backgrounds, identities, abilities, and experiences feel welcomed, respected, and represented. Through inclusive storytelling, community collaboration, and accessible design, museums can foster understanding, dialogue, and connection across cultures and generations.

Inspiration is an important museum value because museums encourage curiosity, creativity, and new ways of thinking. Through art, history, science, and culture, museums inspire visitors to learn, reflect, and connect with human experiences and achievements. They motivate people to explore ideas, appreciate diversity, and imagine future possibilities.
