Museums

To my mind, it’s a pity when people think that a museum is an absolutely tedious place and they even can’t imagine they could enjoy a visit of a museum. Museum is also sometimes a paragon of boring school trip or a place for boring people who are interested only in books and there is nothing funny about them. However, there are many interesting and sometimes even funny things that cause that you won’t be bored in a museum in any case.

People usually visit a museum when they travel to some new places. It can be during summer vacation or a trip to a country or city. And why they do that? In the majority cases they want to know something more about the place or about its history. The other reason can be they just have nothing to do during a long time of leisure activities or a trip to a museum was offered to them by their tour guide.

Other group of visitors is the people who are passion about history or only a concrete era of history is their passion, so they travel to the place that was a center of that part of history, to visit a museum or maybe even more of them.

Anyway, the reason of visiting a museum is not so important. The most important thing is what the museum gives us. There are many salutary things as new knowledge, historical skill, new hobby, new friends, new story, etc.

A lot of famous and successful people, such as Cicero or J. Edgar Hoover, said that of the most necessary things of successful and prosperous society is to know history, as we can learn from success and also mistakes of our ancestors.

By and large, a museum can always give you something, but it’s up to you to choose the right one.
