Prompt: 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 people travel to new places, they may visit museums for different reasons and this can be a good choice of spending their time in those new places. I think some reasons that people visit museums are to become familiar with other cultures and histories and to spend their time effectively. Some other people may go visit there because of their personal interests in history and archeology and art. Ċ Visiting museums is a good choice to become familiar with new cultures and histories. This can help people realize the differences and similarities between others' cultures and histories and theirs. For example, by comparing others' ancient and artistic objects with theirs, they can realize the differences and similarities. By paying more attention, they can also find out how developed was a society. For instance, some societies were using and creating the same equipments and devices and weapons in a more advanced way than other ones. Ċ Some people may consider this as an effective and amusing way of spending their time in those new places. They may think that in their limited time of residence, visiting museums is better and more useful than spending their time in parks or shopping centers or eating out at restaurants. They can shop and eat out in other places but they may have not the opportunity of visiting a museum any longer. Ċ Visiting museums could be a good opportunity for people interested in history and archeology and arts. This way they can find the answers to some of their historic and ancient questions. They can also enjoy becoming familiar with new histories and cultures and arts and add to their historic and artistic knowledge. Ċ Of course, people may prefer to experience other things when travelling to new places and visit museums for other reasons, but I believe that becoming familiar with other cultures and histories and arts and spending their time effectively and personal interests are some of those reasons.
