In the past, museums stored information about culture and history. However, nowadays this information can be found on the internet and, therefore, there is no need for museums. Do you agree or disagree with this view?

Museums

were very important in the past to learn about history and culture but some people are of the opinion that it is no longer relevant as that information can be gotten from the Internet.

First

,

museums

are not just for the sight but the experience that comes with it. Some

museums

display arts we can easily find on the net but that feeling of seeing or touching it is different.

For instance

, when I was younger I went to a slave

museum

in Calabar, Nigeria,

although

most of the information was things I had learned in high school it still felt different. I was able to see chains and other important artefacts that I only saw pictures of.

Furthermore

, some

museums

offer extra fascinating features like 9D viewing, unique audios to make you connect better to the art.

Secondly

,

museums

also

exist for tourism.

That is

why every country has a

museum

that shows what they represent. As a visitor, one of the best ways to connect to a particular group of people is to visit their

museum

and see what they cherish,

this

gives you an understanding of their values and stories.

In addition

,

museums

are a good source of revenue and it boasts the economy. In conclusion,

museums

do not only exist to share information but are for the experience

also

a form of tourism which in turn can boost the countries' economy. So, I do not think the internet can replace the essence of a

museum

.
