Some people think that museums should
be enjoyable places to entertain people, while others believe that the purpose
of museums is to educate.
Discuss both views and give you own
opinion.
People
have different views about the role and function of museums. In my opinion,
museums can and should be both entertaining and educational.
On
the one hand, it can be argued that the main role of a museum is to entertain.
Museums are tourist attractions, and their aim is to exhibit a collection of
interesting objects that many people will want to see. The average visitor may
become bored if he or she has to read or listen to too much educational
content, so museums often put more of an emphasis on enjoyment rather than learning.
This type of museum is designed to be visually spectacular, and may have
interactive activities or even games as part of its exhibitions.
On
the other hand, some people argue that museums should focus on education. The
aim of any exhibition should be to teach visitors something that they did not
previously know.
Usually
this means that the history behind the museum’s exhibits needs to be explained,
and this can be done in various ways. Some museums employ professional guides
to talk to their visitors, while other museums offer headsets so that visitors
can listen to detailed commentary about the exhibition. In this way, museums
can play an important role in teaching people about history, culture, science
and many other aspects of life.
In
conclusion, it seems to me that a good museum should be able to offer an
interesting, enjoyable and educational experience so that people can have fun
and learn something at the same time.
