Many people visit museums when they travel to new places. Why do you think people visit museums? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
When hearing somebody mentioning about “museum”, I always am always recalled about the history subject at school. It was not my favorite class and I am not a huge fan of historical things. However, I was totally changed my mind about “museum” since I visit the Metropolitant Museum of Art in New York. I understand now why people visit museums when they travel to a new places. That is all about what enormous historical value it contains, how fun to see the contemporary exhibit and all the incredible objects and artworks of modern artists.
In my first visiting to Metropolitant Museum of Art, I was attracted to the Egypt exhibition. All of small, tiny detailed sculptures dug from the tombs was amazing. Looking at those 5000 years, I could see what people at that time was doing in their daily lives. I could never imagine all of them in my mind without seeing those wonderful sculptures. People was staying at that corner long enough to feel being amazed of what happened in the past. Museum taught us to treasure our ancient and our cultures to feel proud of how far we has been going from that to our modern life today.
Besides, there another corner of the museum where people pay attention a lot. It is the contemporary exhibition. This usually exhibits the artwork of modern artists. It shows the trendy of art recently. I remember that it was a Pink fashion exhibition when I was visiting the Met Museum. I could not think of what make those costumes become trendy before the visiting. The show was not only about the clothes but also about the history, the personality of a group of people behind those fascinating costumes. That changed my mind of weird feeling when I see someone on the street dressing in that trend.
Moreover, people could come to museums to see the incredible objects such as the biggest skeletons of dinosaurs and the golden cup of the Renaissance. The museum also is where you can see the paintings of the most famous artists such as Picasso, Vangoh and even De Vinci. It brings you to another world, the world of colors and of creation. I can stand right in front of one picture to enjoy each details in it. It freed my mind, released me from the stressful chaos life outside.
Finally, I do not know what real feelings of people when they come to visit a museum. I literally assume it from my self-experience that I have learned a lot about historical life, modern arts and also felt incredibly inspiring of creating something by myself. Museums should be one of the most fascinating destinations when people travel.
Hi Nhukhue, I thought this essay was pretty good. You have a clear structure and some very vivid and personal examples that do a great job of illustrating your points. It is a bit tough to rate this, since you don’t have any huge errors, but you do have a lot of small mistakes that do add up cumulatively. You seem to have trouble with the correct verb conjugations and choosing between singular and plural. I guess I have to give this a 3.5, but the content definitely deserves higher, if you can correct some of your minor errors.
