Museums and art galleries should concentrate on works that show the history and culture of their own country rather than works of the other parts in the world. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Opinions are still divided over what

museums

should exhibit to the public. Some people opine that these places should place a heavy emphasis on a

this

notion. There is no denying that featuring

works

of one’s own culture and history could be a great way of promoting these values to people from different parts of the world. For one,

could impart our cultural values and histories to foreigners. Should foreign visitors cease to witness

Furthermore

Therefore

Nevertheless

,
