From space rocks at the National History Museum to old village models at the Highland Folk Museum, the things on show in the UK's most-loved traditional museums are very important in history. However, some of the UK's top museums have had fewer visitors recently. In the US, fun-themed museums about things like pizza and eggs are opening. These museums are places where people can have fun, take photos, and try new things. It seems fun, but some people say this kind of exhibit(展览) doesn't have enough educational value(价值). Museums should teach us a lot, but are they becoming too silly?
Yes—Museums Should Be for Learning Museums are there to teach us. They are places for people to learn about the past and discover the world we live in. While museums should be interesting, they shouldn't be made too easy. Many museums get money to take care of important artworks and historical items(历史文物). But they also need people to buy tickets or things from the gift shop to keep going. If people start going to these fun-themed museums, they might not visit traditional museums. That would be bad for protecting our culture. Also, "fun" museums are just for people who want to take selfies(自拍) and act silly.
No—Having Fun in Museums Is Important Museums need to be fun places to visit. Otherwise, people won't want to go there. They need to change with the times and not just be places with old paintings on the walls and old things in glass boxes. Since we can see a lot of exhibits online, museums have to think of creative ways to attract(吸引) visitors. Museums can be expensive, and people are more likely to come back if they have a great time. Besides, museums don't always have to be about serious subjects. Why can't we learn about things like pizza and eggs? If you like a fun museum, you might be more interested in trying a more serious one.
