Nowadays, some people claim that public museums and art galleries will not be needed because people can see historical objects and works by using the computer. Do you agree or disagree?

In
this
day and age, more and more contemporary attention has been placed on the opinion that the presence of public
museums
and
art
galleries is believed to be unnecessary since
people
can see historical
objects
and
works
by using their
computers
. From my perspective, I subscribe to
this
school of thought.
To begin
with, viewing experiences in public
museums
and
art
exhibitions are no longer worthwhile and captivating.
This
is because nowadays, with the proliferation of the Internet,
people
may use their
computers
to have access to an inexhaustible source of information, including images and descriptions of historical
objects
and
works
. Most importantly, they are the same as those displayed in public
museums
and
art
galleries, leading to the fact that the public is not to go to these places to have viewing experiences while using
computers
also
might entitle them to have those ones.
In addition
, observing historical
objects
and
works
in the mentioned places is not somewhat needed since by using
computers
, global citizens may save a great deal of time and money. As for the former,
instead
of driving private vehicles to those destinations,
people
may browse some historical websites to see some ancient
objects
or famous
works
in a minute if their
computers
are connected to the Internet.
For instance
, I used to spend 15 minutes going to a historical museum to find more information about some artefacts for my history research,
however
, I solely take few minutes to see full descriptions and images about ancient
objects
for my current one on my laptop. As for the latter, by means of using
computers
connected to the Internet, anybody could
also
find any historical object and work free of charge in lieu of paying entrance fees like previously. In conclusion, with all the reasons mentioned above, I strongly believe that it is unnecessary to visit public
museums
and
art
galleries to observe historical
objects
and
works
since
people
can use
computers
to meet their demands.
