　　Currently a growing number of governments are investing some money in
museums. Some people believe this will benefit the whole society while others
maintain that the government should tighten its budget and spend the money on
more important things. To my mind, the former view does make sense.
        　　We can hardly lose sight of the fact that every country prides itself on
the glory of its own history. Undoubtedly, the museum, which usually boasts a
collection of objects of artistic and historical value, plays a vital role in
recording a country’s history. By visiting museums, we can not only learn about
our history and civilization, but gradually cultivate a sense of social
responsibility, which normally stems from a clear understanding of mankind’s
history. For instance, if young people come to know what their ancestors have
contributed to the development of their country, they will be inspired to
dedicate themselves to the economic well-being of society. Moreover, in the
museum, they will also learn something that can not be acquired from books. In
addition, revelling in nostalgic memories is likely to be a sort of great
enjoyment and relaxation. Therefore, it will be beneficial to the whole society
if the government takes the lead in funding museums.
        　　However, we have to admit that some countries, especially poor ones, may
have difficulty spending a large sum of money in this respect, but they are able
to organize fundraising activities so that wealthy members of society can donate
money to public facilities such as museums. As far as I know, this is common
practice in many countries.
        　　In the final analysis, it is quite clear that museums are treasure troves
of mankind. The government, as well as the individuals, should endeavour to
provide enough funds for them to be on the right track.
