Many people visit museums when they travel to new
places. Why do you think people visit museums? Use specific reasons and
examples to support your answer.
When people go on a trip to certain places, they
usually visit several museums as a routine of a trip. Although some people
think that going to a museum could be boring and old-fashioned, I strongly
believe that museums are good places to go when people travel to new places
where they have never been. This is because museums show what people in the
society regard the most valuable and help people broaden their views about the
world.
First
of all, museums show the most important value and tradition in the society
where people travel to. Because there are only limited rooms available in museums,
when people decided what to put in the museums, they often picked the most
significant and valuable things well-representing the society. Thus by visiting
the museums, people can learn about what represents the society they visit. For
example, when I went to France for a trip, I visited a lot of museums including
Louvre and Orsey Museum. In both museums, there were many drawings and
paintings describing the French Revolution. By looking at these masterpieces, I
could learn how much French people value the braveness and liberty as shown in
the French Revolution.
In
addition, visiting museums help people broaden their views and think in a
different way from other people. As proved in many studies, learning arts or
music let people be more creative without any boundary. Since each place has its
own paintings and masterpieces which are different and cannot be seen from
other places, visiting each museum can affect people’s mind and thought in a
different way. For instance, when I visited Dali museum in Florida, I felt that
my mind went through a revolution. Before I went there, I thought there would
not be anything special and it would be pretty similar with other museum. However,
Dali museum was totally distinct and absolutely changed my attitude and the way
I think. All of his paintings are so brilliant and the longer time I spent
looking at them, the more new things I found. It was amazing to see how people
can see the same world in a totally different way. I felt so engaged and by
visiting that museum, I could learn and broaden my view not only about art but
also about the world in a much more creative way.
In conclusion, visiting museums on
the trip is one of the important factors in the trip because by visiting
museums, people can learn about the representing value of a society and broaden
their view. Therefore, if I will go on a travel to a new place, a museum would
be definitely the first place I want to visit.
