Museums, as public institutions, exist for the public benefit and to be successful all aspects of their operations should reflect this obligation and commitment. People are the only reason for museum to exist. Although it is an obvious point, that fact is frequently overlooked in the day-to-day process of operating a museum as an end in itself, without the need to make it useful to the community. However, everything musicological involves humans and an understanding of audience needs and expectations is fundamental to developing effective exhibitions.

Museums offer real objects - the ideal fuel for whole brain learning. This is why museums are viable alternative and complementary learning environment for students. A good museum attracts, entertains, arouses curiosity, leads to questioning and thus promotes learning. It is an educational institution that is set up and kept in motion that it may help the members of the community to become happier, wiser and more effective human beings. " Every museum has an educational responsibility to the public it serves. Museums offer a unique encounter with objects and ideas for people of many ages, interests, capabilities and backgrounds. Museum education strengthens and encounter by building bridges between visitors' experiences and expectations and the experiences and ideas that emanate from a museum's collections".

"Today most museums in the U.S. endeavor to narrate a coherent story through their collections, to stimulate the visitor toward exploration, discovery, wonder and learning to 'see' by experiences; and to provide other enrichment and educational activities". A museum is an institution in the service of society and of its development, and is generally open to the public. Ptolemy (I) called Soter (Savior) (323-285 B.C.) who founded the first university of the world. This was also called the Museum or home of the Muses. The great masterpieces of Greek thought, philosophy and poetry were stored here in the form of terracotta tablets in a cuneiform script. These were copied by slaves and studied and annotated by scholars. The great Greek scholars were invited to study and teach at this great museum. The museum copied the text as a publishing house and sold them to the public. Every writer was expected to present a copy of his writing to the museum. The scholars were paid a salary. Such great scholars as the geometrician, Euclid and the mathematician, Archimedes were associated with this institution. Here was translated the Old Testament of the Jews from Hebrew into Greek. Thus the first great museum was storehouse of ancient learning, an archive, a library, a research center and a university at once. From the very beginning of the conception of the museum, it was both a collection and a research and teaching center, which is equivalent to the modern concept of a museum.

In the chapter on 'A Museum is not a Building' Finlay says, "The most positive purpose of a museum, where the man in the street is concerned, is to stimulate curiosity, pleasure and even awe by confrontation with the works of nature and man, through this to rouse a hunger for knowledge and give guidance.

"A well organized museum is an audio-visual instrument that can cater to all classes and age groups and cove all fields of knowledge". There is no institution which can bring the comprehensive ethos of any one people to the very doorsteps of another more effectively than museums through their attractive and effective exhibitions. These help also to bring the people's souls together. Museums employ the best and quickest means of spreading the message audio-visually. Even though they are numerous number of museums in the world, so far there is no Christian museum for soul winning. Therefore the founder of ACMC felt the need to establish a Christian museum as a ways and means to witness the Christian faith.

Agape Christian Museum Center (ACMC) is neither idolatry nor iconography but a visual aid in Christian witnessing in the 21st century.
