Perhaps the earliest attempt at manipulating acoustics was the ancient Greek mask. Since that time, the desire for the audience to hear clearly has stimulated the development of sound equipment in theatres as well as the concern for acoustical quality when building or revamping theaters. The quality of the equipment often depends on the availability of money.
Safety: There are two kinds of safety in the theatre or theme park: physical safety and psychological safety. The first ties with safety measures imposed on the physical structure and manipulation of machinery. The second, although dependent on the first, ties with a suspension of a feeling of safety. Physically, the audience must, ultimately, feel safe. In the past, physical safety has centered on safety from fire. The use of candles, oil, and gas requiring an open flame in the theatre for illumination destroyed The museum includes:
