Modern technology has made it possible for people to view exhibitions at home, so museums and art galleries will disappear soon. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

With modern technology finding its way into our lives, today

people

can easily take virtual tours to see

artwork

all over the world through the internet.

Thus

, some

people

believe that it is no longer needed to keep

places

such

as museums and

art

galleries.

However

,

this

statement suffers from some logical and factual issues, and I hardly agree with

this

.

To begin

with, it is undeniable that the existence of cultural and historical sites has a positive impact on cultural influence. In general, a museum or an

art

gallery displays the culture, history or

art

with a common core theme.

For instance

, the oriental metropolitan museum in Nanjing, China, is the only place with a vast collection of artefacts and relics from the Six Dynasties period in Chinese history. Visiting these kinds of

places

offers

people

a good opportunity to directly visualize and feel the

artwork

being displayed, and in that way,

people

are more likely to appreciate their beauty and value of them.

Therefore

, preserving those

places

of

art

has paramount importance in terms of cultural influence.

Next

, there is no doubt that the feeling of seeing real items can never be replicated by visualizing them virtually. Taking artefacts like sculptures as examples, one can view them through different angles to capture all features and details, while pictures normally only provide some brief overviews from a limited number of angles. In general, it is hard to appreciate the aesthetics of a piece of

artwork

comprehensively by only looking at a few of its photos.

Hence

, it is absolutely necessary to have

places

to present the existing novel

artwork

. To conclude, the greatness and aesthetics of every piece of

artwork

have to be treasured. With the existence of

places

such

as museums and

art

galleries,

artwork

can be well-preserved and

this

is definitely beneficial to the human community.
