                 It is an interesting phenomenon that, when travelling to new places they have never been to before, many people choose to visit museums. Why are museums peoples’ common choices? Based on my personal experience and according to my observations, I think this is because museums tell people a lot about the culture of those places and give them pleasures.

                 It is easy to find out many ways to obtain knowledge about the culture of the place where people visit for the first time. You can go to a theatre or worship or a nightclub. Another option is to sit in the park and listen to the people around you. Among various options, visiting museums might be the easiest way. Museums show you the history and art and those things that the locals think important by exhibiting objects and works, some of which might be unique in the world.

                 On the other hand, the museums themselves are part of the lands ape of the places. Many museums are designed and built based on the historical and artistic characteristics of the places where the museums are located in. The Forbidden City Museum is the most favourite tourist site because not only it contains a large variety of historical objects and art works but also it is the representative of Chinese history and the highest Chinese ancient architecture achievement.

                  As a result, people are willing to select museums as their first destination to understand the culture of the place they visit.

        Museums also give people pleasure. Even if you are not interested in art or history, there is always something to get your attention. Many museums now have what they call "interactive" exhibits.

                The "interactive" activities were originally designed to keep children occupied while their parents were looking at exhibits. However, the interesting thing is that adults are keen to these activities as well as their children. It is fascinating to create your own work of painting in an art museum or to design an appearance of a robot by yourself in a science museum. People can be really pleased with performing the "interactive" works in museums, as well as gaining related knowledge.

                 Museums are welcomed by both local people and new comers because they are an essential part of our life. They reflect our history, our art, our values, our creations and our dreams. No matter who you are and what you like, somewhere there is a museum that will amaze and interest you.
