About

The word "博物馆" is formed by combining three characters: 博, which means "wide" or "extensive"; 物, meaning "thing" or "object"; and 馆, meaning "building" or "hall". Together, they construct a compound where 博 modifies 物 to suggest a broad collection of items, and 馆 denotes the place that houses such a collection, resulting in the meaning "museum".
