Museum Visits

Museums are places depicting history, ancient civilization and

evolution. I see lot of people visiting museums when they travel
to new destination. Apart from travelers, we do see lot of school
children taking field trips to museums. The reasons may be
many ,but I consider education, entertainment and research to be
primary goals of visiting them.
First, I would like to focus on education. Schools and colleges
have museum visits as field trips. Last week, I chaperoned my
son to the Native American Museum inWashington. As the
children were learning about the American -Indians they were so
excited to have a hands-on experience to see the homes and
other artifacts .It also helped them to plan for
a stage show on Native Americans at their school.
Second, when my aunts came to my niece wedding at Rhode
Island, they wanted to find indoor getaway because of the rain.
We entered, The Mansion Museum ,that housed the palatial

architecture, furnishings, home dcor and utensils. The visit

was so entertaining that day to see the mansion and take the
vintage elevator ride.
Third, when I was in my sophomore year I used to visit the
Gandhi museums to research about him. I finally submitted a
research paper, with most insights I gathered from the museum
and from conversations with other Gandhian thought people.
Finally, I think museums have continued to be places of
Interest for all ages and they also make ourselves to appreciate
what we are today in culture, science, art and technology. I
hope the posterity too does maintain them and visit them to have
their advantages.
