When
traveling abroad, some people may consider museums as just boring places and
rather prefer going to see attractions or eating at famous restaurants.
However, I strongly believe that going to museums is certainly the a best way to understand deeply about the
country.
Firstly, at museums you can study the long
historical backgrounds of the country, which helps you understand more deeply
about local people. With the knowledge of the nation's history, you will get to
better understand how the lifestyle of the local people has been shaped
throughout the history, and why people behave in certain way. My Canadian
friends’ visit to Korea would be a good example of this. After they visited the
National History Museum in Korea and saw how cruelly Japanese invaded Korea and
how much Koreans suffered from the event, they could eventually fully
understand why Koreans were so against Japanese government even until now.
On the top of that, a museum is a perfect
place where you can see and experience the country's traditions and heritage.
Nowadays, due to globalization, many countries
have become modernized so quickly that it is it's
very hard to find their traditional scenes on the street. Without going to
museums, you might end up eating at McDonald’s
and buying clothes from ZARA, and lose opportunity to see the country’s
uniqueness. By seeing the exhibitions full of numerous relics and traditional
artifacts, such as clothings and furnitures, preserved well, you can learn the
lifestyles of local people for each periods of history. Also, nowadays many
museums offer some good programs such as cooking traditional foods, or making
traditional jewelry which come in high quality and often educational. By
seeing the exhibitions and participating in these programs held in museum, it
will be an excellent opportunity to experience the real traditions of the
country.
To sum up, a
museum is a must-visit place because it helps you learn the history of the
country which is essential when trying to deeply understand the people. Also,
in this globalized and standardized era, a museum will allow you to experience
the unique and traditional culture of the country, which you will hardly
find on the street of modernized cities.
