Why people visit museums?   

Many people visit museums when they travel to new places. Why? I think there are several reasons.  

Firstly, museum is a microcosmic of a country or a city. And museums are brilliant repositories of human being`s historical artifact and achievements in art. From museums we can learn a lot about the cultures of a country or a city. We can also learn the people`s lifestyle of the past which is different from the present. I think this is the main reason that people visit museums when they travel to new places.  

Secondly, for travelers when they travel to a new place, they have no enough time to visit the new place here and there. Therefore, by visiting museums they can maximize their knowledge of the new place and lots of time is save.  

Thirdly, many valuable old things or works of art like pictures, statues in museums attract people who hope one day to see those with their own eyes. What`s more, museums can offer travelers a chance to pursue their interests in seeing a different environment and a different way of life. By visiting museums, they gain a better understanding of the new place.  

No matter why one travels, the journey offers the opportunity to visit a new museum. This helps them to understand the world better.  

These reasons above are why I think most people choose to visit museums when they travel to a new place.
