 A Visit to the Museum
When I'm still in Junior High School actually after I had finished national exam, my
friends and I decided to visit an old museum in Batu City on Sunday.
We went to the museum by bus. My brother came with us too because my mother
ordered him to accompany us. The journey took one hour. After that we arrived in the museum.
The situation in front of the museum was very crowded. Many people queued up to buy the
ticket. After 15 minutes, we got our ticket and we went inside the museum.
First exhibition in the museum was about ancient civilization. In there, we got some
information about the history of primordial man, ancient weapon, ancient painting and many
more. We could see a documenter film about history of human too.
Next, we entered Egyptian exhibition. We saw the picture of Queen cleopatra, the
Egyptian coffin that is called as sarcophagus, the miniature of Giza pyramid and many more. The
one that impressing me was the painting on the wall. It was so beautiful. And we did not forget
to take some pictures in there.
After the break, we decided to go back home. I was so happy. That was one of those precious
moments I had when I was in Junior High School.
