Essay #446 "Museums and Travelling" 07.04.19 While travelling people tend to visit museums, and basically they are the most attractive sights for tourists. However, many people believe that this experience does not represent the current culture of a country and provide quite idealistic and distorted image. In my opinion, museums are great for people to get familiar with another tradition, customs and also history of a country. Museums are the best places to learn many new things in a very short time, which is great especially in a situation with a limited time. This is very true in terms of travelling, as often people have only several days to spend in a foreign country, thus they have to make spend these days as efficient as possible. So, museums are the best choice for this as they can provide such opportunity. Another point is that museums can provide people with the understanding of the evolution of another culture. This is a great place to watch how some particular culture has developed to its current state, which greatly helps in the understanding of people who live in this country. Thus, museums provide people with unique experience which cannot be substituted by something else. Finally, this experience can not only improve the time people spend in a foreign country, but also widen their horizon and develop them overall. People should attend museums not only as a part of their travelling, but also for themselves. Museums are great places to improve their knowledge and make them more well-rounded and educated. To conclude, in spite of the fact that many people believe that museums do not provide any real experience, they actually are great to introduce a foreign culture to people. They create unique experience which greatly improves the time people spend in a foreign country. Aside from this, museums help people to develop themselves, that is why people should attend them not only in terms of tourism, but also for themselves.
