. I partly agree that museums are a valuable educational tool to learn about one’s own

 but overall museums should aspire to broaden people’s perspective rather than narrow and deepen it. Proponents of museums mainly showcasing works from their own
country
 often point out that they help people connect with their

’s culture and history. Children all over the United States learn about American history from their textbooks. They learn about the constitution, the founding fathers, and the various wars of liberation America has fought.
