Living museum is just a list of living/open air museums, which happens to include articles like Beamish, The North of England Open Air Museum. Is there a substantial difference between "Living Museum" and "Open Air Museum"? Either the two pages should be merged, or if one remains a list, their names should be the same. -- TheMightyQuill 01:11, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
So, does someone feel like merging the categories now? - TheMightyQuill 07:11, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
"Like other museums, an open air museum is a non-profit making, permanent institution in the service of society and of its development..." This seems a bit naive. See Colonial Williamsburg or Korean Folk Village. — AjaxSmack 18:46, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
There are a fair number of entries under category:Farm museums - should they be listed here also? Simesa ( talk) 13:30, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
The introduction seems Scandinavian-centric, claiming and origin to outdoor and architectural museums in Scandinavia, but ignoring the opening to the public of a number of historically important buildings and their associated buildings even earlier in other places ( Versailles in France, Mount Vernon in Virginia, for example). On the other hand, living history museums provide a much more complete experience than outdoor building museums and that should be recognized by a separate article. Farm museums are one type of living history museum, and fit well into it, but don't fit in with outdoor/building museums. I note that all USA living history museums are relegated to a separate article, which I think proves my point. -- Zeamays ( talk) 07:39, 20 June 2013 (UTC)
User:Bermicourt added "also frequently open air museum". Lots of companies and organizations misspell, miscapitalize and mispunctuate their own names (it's their name, and they can abuse it any way they see fit), but every reliable dictionary says to use a hyphen in "open-air" when it is used as an adjective. Many of the Wikipedia articles where the hyphen is omitted from the name of a museum are about museums in continental Europe (Germany, the Netherlands, etc.), and they cannot be expected to master English punctuation, so they should not be used as a standard for the English language. The edit makes it appear that omitting the hyphen is acceptable when the term is used generically; this is simply not true. Should we change that to "also frequently mispunctuated as open air museum"? Or, better yet, take that phrase out. It is not the place of Wikipedia to override dictionaries of the English language and encourage the omission of required punctuation. Chris the speller yack 22:13, 31 July 2015 (UTC)
