online museums and galleries Some people claim that public museums and art galleries will not be needed because people can see historic objects and works of art by using a computer. Do you agree or disagree with this opinion? Traditionally, people have to buy a ticket and queue up if they want to see any collection exhibited in a museum or a gallery. Nowadays, however, at the click of a button, they can enter a panoramic but private visual salon from the comfort of their own home. In my opinion, such digital engagement is still unlikely to replace physical exhibition centre completely. On the one hand, virtual visit can be a viable alternative to museum-gallery-hopping. Visitors do not need to splash on an extravagant flight ticket in order to see well-renowned works on the other side of the earth. Such convenience can be attributed to the fact that a great number of (national museums) in many countries have started to display an array of collections online. Additionally, with the technology of 360-degree videos and high-definition quality, viewers can have a fairly close-up inspection on the details of those magnificent pieces. On the other hand, there are aspects of brick and mortar exhibitions that a website can not to replicate. When visiting such places in real life, visitors are more likely to immense themselves in the historical or artistic ambience within a space. On contrary, when viewing remotely, they can hardly get that feeling. Besides, online visitors lose the chance of serendipity— the sense of wandering between artworks and encountering the unexpected. They are also deprived of social opportunities. Museums and galleries are places to swap opinions and share enthusiasms. In conclusion, the viewing room is a telling indication of how creations can be shown, offering historical heritage as well as avant-garde works which we might never have access to. Nevertheless, its innate deficiencies that I have described above mean that it would be a huge loss for us if real exhibitions vanish forever. ( The most confusing thing for me about this topic is that I have no idea how to rephrase " museum and gallery" in different ways. The bracket part in the middle of this essay is one of my confusion. When I said national museum, I know it doesn't include the two objects in the question fully, but I don't know how to express.) Please help me point out the error and upgrade this essay. Thank you！
