In the past important knowledge and history were stored in the museum. Nowadays information is freely available on the Internet therefore is no longer a need for museums. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

There is an opinion that all necessary information about science and

history

is stored on the

Internet

these days and

museums

are not needed any more. It is partly agreed that online knowledge is a good replacement for

museums

and exhibitions nowadays. In

this

essay, I will shed some light on the issue and provide my personal opinion about the topic.

To begin

with, the

internet

is a wonderful place where a lot of ideas and knowledge have found their home. With a basic awareness of language and browsing access, a person can find almost everything they want about math or

history

.

For instance

, the free-to-use platform Khan Academy provides hundreds of well-structured courses from the school curriculum and helps kids throughout the world excel at humanities disciplines or maths. So, the

Internet

definitely opened huge possibilities for numerous people on our planet.

On the other hand

, the

internet

is not capable of providing a sense of community and access to unique and rare exhibitions. Modern

museums

it is not only old things dug out in Peru or Spain, it is an ingenious and resourceful approach to sharing information among the citizens.

For example

, New York's Modern

History

Museum tends to arrange numerous immersive spectacles for all ages and helps youngsters make their first steps in the comprehension of science and

history

.

To sum up

, it can be clearly seen that the

Internet

could be a plausible replacement for modern

museums

and exhibitions in terms of accumulating knowledge and exploring new fields.

However

, like cinema has not replaced theatre, the

internet

is not able to substitute our desire to gather together and discuss our ideas in special facilities.
