A museum label is a label describing an object exhibited in a museum or one introducing a room or area.[1][2][3]
At a minimum, museum labels should identify the creator, title, date, location, and materials of the work, insofar as these can be known. Ideally, museum labels should also include didactic information that can be related to wider ideas such as the history, culture, interpretation, and context of the work. [1][2]
The first known museum labels are from Babylonian princess and high priestess Ennigaldi-Nanna's museum and date to circa 530 BCE.[4][5]
