Others, however, believe that the purpose of museums and art galleries is to educate. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion. ---------------------- Some argue that museums and art galleries should entertain or educate people, different people have different opinions. Traditional museums and art galleries provide loads of exhibitions to the audience. For example, natural and history museums generally exhibit wild animals or vegetation fossils, which directly help people to know the wonderful natural world. Flight museums show different kinds of planes and related equipment. Art galleries put lots of drawings and sculptures which attract people to learn how to appreciate the beauty of the arts. Many schools also regularly organize students to visit museums and art galleries. Guiders would introduce the history of the exhibitions, furthermore, printing some quiz to conduct children. I believe that it’s educational things to adolescent. Likewise, many museums and art galleries start to use more special ways to attract people’s attention. Firstly, they add many interesting performances, like penguins show, penguins would be requested to do some posture, and at the same time working staff asks for some simple questions which conduct audiences to answer the questions and learn more things about the animals. Secondly, museums and art galleries often organize some entertaining activities, like drawing pictures or do some models by yourselves, if you do well, they will show them on the shelf. Therefore, many children do like to take part in these kinds of practical activities. Finally, some art galleries even invite some musicians, arts or movie stars attend their exhibition, which influence many audiences to focus their events. In conclusion, I tend to agree with museums and art galleries should entertain people in order to attract more people to visit their exhibition. Dreary exhibition already lack of attraction, which is easy to replace by computer and the Internet.
