People love to visit museums when traveling to new places. I think this is
because museums tell them a lot about the culture of those places. Museums are
also fun. It’s almost impossible to get bored in a museum. Every museum will
have at least one thing of interest to somebody.
When visiting someplace new, you can find out about the culture of that
place in many ways. You can go to a movie or a place of worship or a nightclub.
Another option is to sit in the 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 you the history of the place you're visiting. They’ll
show you what art the locals think is important.
If there aren't any museums, that tells you something, too.
Museums are fun. Even if you're not interested in art or history, there is
always something to get 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 exhibits. However, museums have found that
adults enjoy hands-on opportunities just as much as children. These exhibits
have activities like pushing a button to hear more about what you're looking at,
creating your own work of art, or trying on clothes like those on the models in
the museum.
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 out
of potatoes. It also tells all about the history of the potato, and sells potato
mementos like key chains and potato dolls.
People enjoy visiting this museum because it's different. It’s not
something they'd find in their hometown and the museum's curator enjoy talking
about the Great Potato.
Museums are popular because they are about us. They reflect our creations,
our values, and our dreams. No matter who you are or what you like, somewhere
there is a museum that will amaze and interest you.
