Question 12: Many people visit museums when they travel to new places. Why

Question 12

Many people visit museums when they travel to new places. Why do you think people visit museums? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.


Answer

Generally, people visit museums when visiting new places. I also visit them in new places. Museums stimulate our curiosity to the place. Without museums, we might be bored in the place. There are three reasons I will mention why people visit museums in new places.

Primary, we can know the history of the new place in museums easily. Museums have many artificial and historical works the place produced. They collect the works in a building, and categorize them by each age. We can know the change of the history of the region only by walking them. While, museums explain the works in detail. Travelers can read the explanations easily. They can get a chance to know the information by going to the museums

Secondary, we want to save our time by visiting museums. It is convenient to visit museums. When we travel, we can not use so much time. Time is limited in a place for travelers. We want to visit as many places as possible. Originally, things collected in a museum were spread in a wide region. It is hard for travelers to visit all of the places in their limited time.

Lastly, we can look at many famous works only in museums. It is impossible to look at famous paints besides museums. For example, we think the works of Picasso are collected in museums. Actually, some people collect his paintings, but they do not show them publicly. For this reason, when a collector sells a Picasso’s work, many museums try to buy it. If another collector buys it, nobody knows when the painting will be sold next. Museums give us a chance to look at the works.

Therefore, travelers visit museums when they visit new places. Museums are good places to know the history of the region. Travelers can save time, and they can look at famous works in museums. We can enjoy our travel by using museums efficiently.
