類博物館，無須被劃定「機構」名銜，卻超越制式專業博物館的文化、教育機能。它以親切自然貼近社會大眾的姿態，以活潑多元的活動或季節性儀式，來凝聚人們的學習動機，活絡社交機趣，浮現人性美善本質。
不受限一定程序與標準的設置條件，類博物館的範圍廣涵：紀念館、廟宇、文化中心、集會廣場，甚至墓園、祭壇，從而帶動豐沛的「產業」，諸如：農、工、商產品及人文智能創產成果，吸引無量產能，而燈會、廟會、青春音樂會更博得觀光之情趣。這些豐富多元的標的，顯現國家與社會文化的特色，不僅提供民眾積極有意的學習場境，更是別具魅力的國際參訪觀光資源。
立於全人類活動的重要主軸，類博物館滿足大眾的歷史記憶，增強生活的精神信仰，引領文化的品味與認同，甚至無可計量的人文產業將隨類博物館之蘊蓄而永續，期冀達成終極使命，讓人性昇騰「止於至善」的理想。

Quasi-museums are not really institutions in their own right, and yet can often extend beyond the educational and cultural functions of traditional museums. These are places that are close to the hearts of the general public, and serve diverse functions during different times of the year. They encourage the public to learn, provide a platform for social exchange, and promote the public good.
Quasi-museums are not bound by the restrictions of traditional institutions. They include memorial halls, places of worship, cultural centers, public plazas, and even funeral homes and cemeteries. They serve to promote industries such as agriculture and business and bring a human touch to what is otherwise a staid field of work. The many activities held at these locations, such as concerts, religious gatherings, and lantern festivals may even attract visitors from afar, serving not only to educate citizens, but also bring in international tourists.
With such an important role to play, these quasi-museums satisfy the public’s thirst for history, strengthens their faith in humanity, and promotes culture and good taste. They also spawn cottage industries that promote humanistic thinking, and will eventually serve to instill humanity in the citizenry.
