Some believe the primary purpose of museums is to entertain people, while others believe their purpose is to educate. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

The artefacts preserved in the

museum

create curiosity in people. Many people argue the prime purpose of

this

preservation is to entertain the people, whereas others believe

this

collection is to educate the public.

This

essay will discuss both views before the declaration of a position.

the subject matter which is other than the content they are usually busy with.

This

is the conclusion reached by Harvard University why employees received entertainment in visiting the

museum

.

is to disseminate the values to the public that ancient items have. The policy that many governments are charging minimum or free tickets for

are

to motivate people to visit museums. These visits provide people opportunities to learn the values of things that the

displays. Meanwhile, the tickets to watch games, movies, clubs comparatively cost a very high amount.

This

fact supports that museums are for educational purposes.

Although

one can be entertained while observing the antique collection of the

museum

, the main purpose of displays of the

museum

is to educate the public. Those educational contents which entertain as well are easily perceivable by the public;

therefore

, I believe learning about the ancient items visiting the museums should be encouraged.
