about the role of museums in the modern world.

Although

the Internet often serves efficiently as an enormous source of cultural and historical information, it is unnecessary that museums would become obsolete due to its vital communal values. One of the museums’ primary functions is that they are operating as research and educational institutions.

That is

to say that the Internet could be a great tool that makes historical and cultural knowledge becomes more accessible than it was, but it does mean that the Internet is capable of replacing museums. By visiting museums, visitors can experience the masterpieces in their finest, and searching and looking at online illustrations is incomparable to being surrounded and gazing at artworks from the distance of just 1 or 2 meters.

Even though it is more convenient and more accessible for the public to employ the Internet as a means to acquire information when it comes to spiritual and communal values, the museum is an integral part and irreplaceable of our society. It would be fascinating to see what the future has for modern museums.
