Why people visit museums?
Many people visit museums when they travel to new places.
Why? I think there are several reasons.
Firstly, museum is a microcosmic of a country or a city. And
museums are brilliant repositories of human being`s historical
artifact and achievements in art. From museums we can learn a lot
about the cultures of a country or a city. We can also learn the
people`s
lifestyle of the past which is different from the present. I think this is
the main reason that people visit museums when they travel to new
places.
Secondly, for travelers when they travel to a new place, they have
no enough time to visit the new place here and there. Therefore, by
visiting museums they can maximize their knowledge of the new
place and lots of time is save.
Thirdly, many valuable old things or works of art like pictures,
statues in museums attract people who hope one day to see those
with their own eyes. What`s more, museums can offer travelers a
chance to pursue their interests in seeing a different environment and
a different way of life. By visiting museums, they gain a better
understanding of the new place.
No matter why one travels, the journey offers the opportunity to
visit a new museum. This helps them to understand the world
better.
These reasons above are why I think most people choose to visit
museums when they travel to a new place.
