People love to visit museums when traveling tonew places. I think this is because museums tellthem a lot about the culture of those places. Museums are also fun. It’s almost impossible to getbored in a museum. Every museum will have at least one thing of interest to somebody.
When visiting someplace new, you can find out about the culture of that place in manyways. You can go to a movie or a place of worship or a nightclub. Another option is to sit inthe park and listen to the people around you. The easiest way to learn about a place's culture, though, is by visiting its museums. Museums will show you the history of the place you'revisiting. They’ll show you what art the locals think is important.
If there aren't any museums, that tells you something, too.
Museums are fun. Even if you're not interested in art or history, there is always somethingto get your attention. Many museums now have what they call "hands-on" exhibits. These wereoriginally designed to keep children occupied while their parents were looking at exhibits. However, museums have found that adults enjoy hands-on opportunities just as much aschildren. These exhibits have activities like pushing a button to hear more about what you'relooking at, creating your own work of art, or trying on clothes like those on the models in themuseum.
People also enjoy visiting museums about unusual subjects. For instance, in my hometownthere's a museum devoted to the potato. This museum has art made out of potatoes. It alsotells all about the history of the potato, and sells potato mementos like key chains and potatodolls.
People enjoy visiting this museum because it's different. It’s not something they'd find intheir hometown and the museum's curator enjoy talking about the Great Potato.
Museums are popular because they are about us. They reflect our creations, our values, and our dreams.No matter who you are or what you like, somewhere there is a museum thatwill amaze and interest you.
