Some people think museums should be enjoyable places to attract and entertain young people, while others think the purpose of museums should be to educate, not entertain. Discuss both sides and give your opinion.
Museums
are seen to be an important institution of the educational process by many people
. However
, a group of people
believes that they can also
be enjoyable places to entertain youngsters. In my view, although
galleries bear an essential role to educate, involving various entertaining elements may attract many young people
to attain new knowledge
.
Museums
are mostly operating to provide indispensable information to all segments of the population. Most of them display many invaluable artefacts depicting the historical background of a nation of a country. So, when young generations absorb verbal information, they have been taught, by visiting museums
visual experiences can supplement this
knowledge
. For example
, the Historical Museum of Azerbaijan has a very impressive collection of historical and cultural objects belonging to different epochs of our country and most probably, when schoolchildren see those items, they can easily expand their knowledge
about historical events. Therefore
, museums
are considered vital places to be visited by juveniles to help them with their studies.
However
, many people
, including me, support the idea that the rendering process of educational information in museums
would be better to be in entertaining mode. Many of those places are voiceless premises with semi-dark rooms and are mostly inhabited by educated people
interested in a certain scientific field. If, for instance
, museums
alter their themes, by adding more visual effects, computerized graphics, they will be attractive to more young people
. An increase in the number of visitors may also
bring more revenue which in turn can be used for improving the quality of exhibitions.
In conclusion, despite the fact that museums
play an enormous role in providing scientific knowledge
to youngsters, adding more entertaining elements will attract more people
on the one hand and can help to boost the revenue of the institutions on the other hand
