museum

Modern museums can be seen everywhere and are always of have different themes, such as cartoon museums, history museums, science museums, etc. In my opinion, museums are places where not only can people can not only entertain themselves, but places in which they can also can acquire knowledge.

On the one hand, it can be argued that the main role of museums is to entertain. Museums are tourist attractions, and their aim is to exhibit a collection of interesting objects that people want to see. The average visitors will would feel bored if what they see saw or listened to was are purely for educational purposes contents, so museums often put more of an emphasis on enjoyment rather than learning. This type of museum is always designed to be visually spectacular. The Cartoon Museum in Shanghai, for instance, offers various interactive activities as a part of the exhibition and makes a child's children experience a vivid dream in a changeable panoramic animation.

On the other hand, some people argue that museums should focus solely on education. The aim of any exhibition should be to teach visitors something that they previously did not know. Usually this means the history behind the museum’s exhibits needs to be explained and this can be done in various ways. Some museums employ professional guides to talk to their visitors, while others offer headsets so that the visitors can listen to the detailed commentary about the exhibition. In this way, museums play an important role in teaching people about history, culture, science and other aspects of life.

Therefore, the entertaining function and the educational function are both important roles of museums. In modern society, integrating the two things well can may better serve the visiting needs of different aged of visitors and largely stimulate people’s interests in to museums.

Great! Especially the second paragraph! The whole thing was correct, but it reads better when you add in the word solely!
