Museum
Museums were places where humans and many other species exhibited items of scientific, artistic or historical importance.

The First Doctor, Ian, Barbara and Vicki visited a museum on Xeros in which they found exhibits of themselves. (TV: The Space Museum)
The Fourth Doctor and Romana I visited a museum run by the Collectors to retrieve a disabled K9 Mark II. (PROSE: Heart of TARDIS)
The Tenth Doctor discovered a museum dedicated to all his lives and had to remember events from his previous incarnations to restore his fading memories. (COMIC: The Forgotten)
The Eleventh Doctor brought Amy Pond to see a Vincent van Gogh exhibit in Musée d'Orsay in Paris in 2010, as compensation for her fiancé's death. (TV: Vincent and the Doctor)
