Some people think that museum should be enjoyable place to entertain people while others believe that the purpose of them is to educate.discuss both views and give your opinion..
There has been a controversy about whether
museums
should be enjoyable or educational. I think museums
can be entertaining and educational, and my reasons will be explained in the following paragraphs.
First
, they serve as a recorder of history
. As we know, there are
hundreds and thousands of all sorts of museums
around the world; some are
national museums
that have the most precious antiques; some are
new museums
, such
as technical museums
. However
, all of them play a similar role, which is recording history
; hence
, visitors can understand the progress of history
by visiting these museums
. Take The Palace Museum
as an example. It is famous for its valuable antiques, which record the development of Chinese history
, and they can open visitors' eyes.
Second
, the content of particular museums
is appealing. It's expected that different museums
serve different purposes; some are
historical museums
, and some are
new media museums
. Take me as an example. I have been to a technical museum
in Berlin, and it was an eye-opener for me. It didn't only teach people scientific knowledge; it was also
an entertaining place. For example
, there was a kids
' club exclusively for kids
. During the weekend, parents can take their children to this
museum
; kids
can play in the kids
' club, and parents can enjoy the artwork here.
In my opinion, museums
can serve these two purposes. For instance
, I have read an article about a museum
which held a treasure hunt activity while they were having an exhibition about Pharaohs. This
museum
was popular during that period of time because children could participate in that engrossing activity, and adults could enjoy the breath-taking antiques.
In conclusion, I believe museums
can be entertaining and educational.Submitted by junyiwu029 on
