People love to visit museums when they travel to new places. I think this is because museums can tell people a lot about the history of those places, such as stories about the culture, places, and people. Museums also provide people recreation. It’s almost impossible to get bored in a museum. There’s a lot to see, watch, and learn. Every museum has at least one thing that is famous or that interests people.
When people visit new areas that they are not familiar with, they learn about the culture of that place in many ways. They can go and see movies or visit places of worship. Another option is to sit in a park and listen to the people around you. The easiest way to learn about a place's culture, though, is by visiting its museums. Museums will show people about history as well as legends. In addition, they’ll show you what kinds of art the local have.
If there aren't any museums, that tells you something as well. Even if you're not interested in art or history, there is always something to catch your attention. Many museums now have what they call "hands-on" exhibits. These were originally designed to keep children occupied while their parents were looking at other exhibits. However, museums have found that adults enjoy hands-on opportunities just as much as children. These exhibits have many activities, like pushing a button to hear more about what you're looking at, creating your own art work, or trying to put some clothes on models.
People also enjoy visiting museums about unusual subjects. For instance, in my hometown there's a museum devoted to the potato. This museum has art made by using potatoes. It also tells all about the history of the potato.
People enjoy visiting this museum because it's different and offers something different that people didn’t know about. It’s not something they'd find in their hometown and the museum's curator always enjoys talking about the legendary story call ‘the Great Potato’.
Museums are popular because they are about humanity, which means people. It reflects human creations, values, and dreams. No matter who you are or what you like, somewhere there is a museum that will amaze and interest you.
