Museums and art galleries should concentrate on local works rather than showing the cultures or artworks from other countries. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Museums and

art

galleries essentially showcase significant histories and artworks to the general audience both to educate them and to preserve important artefacts. Though some people advocate for an international collection in

such

important places, I firmly believe that local works and national

history

should always get the highest priority.

To begin

with, a single

museum

c

an not

can not

cannot

represent all the important histories of the world due to space and budget issues, and the organisers of public

art

galleries need an exorbitant amount of money to display famous foreign artworks or sculptures.

Thus

, a

museum

should focus on becoming a place where people would learn about their own

history

and

culture

rather than being a place where they would wonder what the collections are all about. Visitors of a

museum

or an

art

gallery, which even include s

choolgoers,

schoolgirls

should able to relate the items they see so that they get inspired to foster nationalism and learn about their country, heritage and

culture

.

Moreover

, museums and

art

exhibits are frequently visited by foreigners who want to get a glimpse of the local

culture

and

history

rather than seeing items that they have already seen in other museums perhaps in some other countries. So museums and similar other places become more acceptable when they conserve local

culture

and present national

history

.

For instance

, most of the tourists in my country find the national

museum

more interesting than other museums we have because our national

museum

offers a true insight into our past and heritage.

Finally

, preserving national

history

and artefacts in a

museum

and encouraging aspiring local artists makes more sense. To conclude, museums and

art

galleries have significant roles in teaching people about their past and nurturing the talents of enthusiastic artists. It is more important that they have local collections and not foreign relics and arts which have little or no meaning to people who visit them.
