Museum in each era and society has its own specific meaning. When a museum is viewed from a cultural perspective, it may be apprehended as more than a functional tool for it also represents the culture of that particular time. The role of museum made across each stages are not simply shifts in architectural style, but indicate an evolution in social role and intrinsic function. The purpose of this study is to comprehend the definition of museum and the variety of exhibition design from the ancient days which the term is called 'museum' is used for the first time to beginning of the 20th century. As a result of this study, we can find that the museum is considered the meaning of the place to change according to the social environment more than the place to the collection, conservation, exhibition, education from the beginning. Accordingly, museums should make continued efforts to set cultural guidelines for the general public.
