Some
people
think
that
museums
should
be
enjoyable
places
to
entertain
people,
while
others
believe
that
the
purpose
of
museums
is
to
educate.
Discuss
both
views
and
give
your
own
opinion.
People
have
different
views
about
the
role
and
function
of
museums.
In
my
opinion,
museums
can
and
should
be
both
entertaining
and
educational.
On
the
one
hand,
it
can
be
argued
that
the
main
role
of
a
museum
is
to
entertain.
Museums
are
tourist
attractions,
and
their
aim
is
to
exhibit
a
collection
of
interesting
objects
that
many
people
will
want
to
see.
The
average
visitor
may
become
bored
if
he
or
she
has
to
read
or
listen
to
too
much
educational
content,
so
museums
often
pu
more
of
an
emphasis
on
enjoyment
rather
than
learning.
This
type
of
museum
is
designed
to
be
visually
spectacular,
and
may
have
interactive
activities
or
even
games
as
part
of
its
exhibitions.
On
the
other
hand,
some
people
argue
that
museums
should
focus
on
education.The
aim
of
any
exhibition
should
be
to
teach
visitors
something
that
they
did
not
previously
know.
Usually
this
means
that
the
history
behind
the
museum's
exhibits
needs
to
be
explained,
and
this
can
be
done
in
various
ways.
Some
museums
employ
professional
guides
to
talk
to
their
visitors,
while
other
museums
offer
headsets
so
that
visitors
can
listen
to
detailed
commentary
about
the
exhibition.
In
this
way,
museums
can
play
an
important
role
in
teaching
people
about
history,
culture,
science
and
many
other
aspects
of
life.
In
conclusion,
it
seems
to
me
that
a
good
museum
should
be
able
to
offer
an
interesting,
enjoyable
and
educational
experience
so
that
people
can
have
fun
and
learn
something
at
the
same
time.
