A rural museum is a museum that focuses on the history, culture, and practices of rural life. It typically showcases artifacts, exhibits, and displays related to the daily life and traditions of people living in rural areas, including farming, livestock raising, crafts, and traditional customs of rural communities. Rural museums may also explore the natural environment, climate, and geology of rural regions, as well as the social and economic changes that have occurred over time. Examples of rural museums include museums of agriculture, country life, and folk museums.
