Art museums have the functions of collection, exhibition, and education. Art museums create the atmosphere and context of art cultivation through concrete visual objects, allowing children to experience art education that is extremely different from school education. This kind of art education is not a system of knowledge and human civilization that is structured by a system of linguistic symbols and inherited by books and languages, but rather, it is a way of perceiving art based on the great heritage of humanity and works of art. In this way, it provides not only the learning and study of the knowledge system, but also, and more importantly, the development of creativity, imagination, aesthetic sensibility.
