Some believe the primary purpose of museums is to entertain people, while others believe their purpose is to educate. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

Museums have always been a
place
where history resides. Its main purpose has always been to a
place
where people can learn and entertain themselves which can be
also
called a
place
of info-entertainment and not a
place
where people get bored.
Although
, it is sometimes seen by some individuals as a
place
where they can entertain themselves by looking at old artefacts, like
for example
I have seen a movie where named Night at the
museum
where all the artefacts of the
museum
come to life and enjoy themselves, which I believe was made by keeping in mind that how can a
museum
be a fun
place
for children so that they can encourage the children to visit the
museum
and if I had the opportunity in my childhood where I could have visited the
museum
where I could have learned as well as had a little fun in the
museum
, it would have been just amazing.
Furthermore
, if museums are only considered as a
place
where an individual can just learn and educate himself/herself
then
, we are not only creating a
place
where people get bored but
also
are creating an environment where under the age children may never visit the
museum
as they will always believe that it is a
place
where some collection of old things placed and we will only get boredom. So in conclusion, I believe the
museum
should not be a
place
whose motive is to just impart education but it should
also
be a
place
where education is endorsed with a pinch of entertainment.
