Talk:List of museums in Pennsylvania

General Information
This list of museums in the state was separated from List of museums in the United States on January 07, 2008. Please see List of museums in the United States for all history prior to that date.

Feel free to include Template:Infobox Museum when adding or editing articles on individual museums. Noroton (talk) 02:13, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Inclusion criteria
In February 2008 at Talk:List of museums in the United States, a consensus was reached on this statement on what kind of institutions to include on state museum-list articles:


 * Historic houses or halls of fame may be listed if they function as or include public museums -- see Biltmore Estate, Plumb House, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and Baseball Hall of Fame for examples. Art galleries that function primarily to sell art should not be listed, but public art museums that use "gallery" as part of their name may be listed. Nature centers and botanical gardens may be listed only if they contain historical or educational exhibits in a museum format.

Also inappropriate for this list are planetariums, aquaria and zoos, which have their own lists. Please follow these criteria when considering additional items for this list, or suggest changes at Talk:List of museums in the United States. Keep in mind there are lists for institutions similar to museums, as noted in the See also section of this article. Noroton (talk) 02:13, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Outdated Links
This article is in need of serious help. Many of its links are broken. This may be a multi-person project if the samples I've clicked are any indicator. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JC1008 (talk • contribs) 15:24, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

Replace region with photos?
The region column seems pretty much useless as there are already City and County columns. Why not put photos in instead? Smallbones( smalltalk ) 17:19, 15 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Not everyone is familiar with what counties are where, so the region column helps identify which part of the state the county falls in. Tourism regions are generally publicized so are helpful for users looking for museums in a certain area. Photos would be nice but unfortunately are cluttering up lists for other states, particularly when the pages are viewed on phones or tablets with small screens. Photos should be categorized in Wikimedia Commons by state. Jllm06 (talk) 17:31, 15 October 2013 (UTC)
