Why do we go to museums?
A. Museums make you smart.
There is no doubt that museums can broaden your mind. In a museum you can see, hear and sometimes even touch various items from different parts of the world. Visiting a museum educates you and makes you knowledgeable. Museums give you an opportunity to travel through time and space, to see all possible ages and epochs. You will learn historical events better, get a glimpse of foreign cultures and start to appreciate other ways of life more. It becomes nearly impossible to exit a museum without having gained any useful information during your visit.
B. Museums bring you inspiration.
A museum is the perfect place to get some creative experiences. Numerous works of art like paintings or sculptures will develop your imagination. Watching something beautiful, for example, the works of Picasso and Chagall will clear your mind and will keep you young, not physically, but mentally. Seeing a wonderful drawing, pottery or embroidery can bring back a precious old memory or even inspire you to begin a new hobby. Being in the company of masterpieces is fun and exciting. You can even turn into an artist yourself.
C. Museums are a great way to spend time.
Museums can provide a great opportunity for communication. What could be more exciting than visiting a museum with your friends and family? You will enjoy each other’s company, share personal feelings and exchange experiences. When you see something beautiful and interesting together, it will help you to get along better and avoid conflicts, will make your family bonds stronger. Spending a day in a museum is fun. Besides, you can make some wonderful photos, which will remind you of these precious moments for many years.
