[edit] Merge with Living museum

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)

Thanks to Verne Equinox for being bold and completing the merger. Sorry I messed up the merge tag. =( -- TheMightyQuill 20:20, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

So, does someone feel like merging the categories now? - TheMightyQuill 07:11, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Sorry that I just saw this, but living museums and open air museums are two different concepts. Vegaswikian (talk) 08:05, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Not for profit?

"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)
