I will present both views and shall state my opinion as well.

Firstly

, entertaining

are more monetarily successful. Strictly speaking, if an attraction is more geared towards amusing its visitors

instead

of teaching them it will be more popular.

This

Museums

which are delightful and enjoyable can change their programs and exhibits, while solemn and academic institutions cannot afford to do it frequently, if at all. Because education is not their main priority, delightful

museums

can create new, spectacular exhibits without worrying about changing or losing their educational value.

This

is a huge benefit, which allows for these establishments to stay relevant and attract new customers more easily. Once a person has been to an instructional museum, they have little to no incentive to return, which reduces the

of customers that

museums

receive more return customers and

However

Museums

don’t need to be entertaining to serve

, because there are other places to seek amusement. Were

museums

to abandon their mission in order to seek a larger profit, they would lose their

and niche, while gaining significant competition in the entertainment industry.

Museums

can be entertaining and informative at the same time, but the biggest advantage can only come if the main goal of the institution is
