museum and visitors What looks beyond dispute is that in the line chart , the quantity of museum and visitors, from 2013 to 2014, has been steadily ascending . To be specific, the number of museums , between 2013 and 2015 , increased continuously from 4.16 thousand to 4.69 thousand . Comparatively speaking , the number of people who visited the museums during this period shows a larger increase, rising from 637.8 million to 781.1 million. As a matter of fact , there are a host of complicated driving factors that may contribute to this phenomenon and , personally I contend , the two most noteworthy ones could be summarized as follows . In the first place , the dramatic economic development of developing countries brings about higher disposable income,allowing the government to establish an increasing amount of museums . What’s more , with the improvement of people's living standards , the public has been increasingly recognizing the value of Historical culture. Considering all aspects of this trend , I , as most of others will do, safely draw a conclusion that there is a growing tendency for people to spend leisure time visiting museums. In the long run, it will always be a good idea to acquire knowledge and broaden the horizon by visiting museums.
