In this day and age,museums are playing an essential role in today`s life but people still have mixed views on whether museums should be more recreational or focus more on education.Personally,i am in favor of the former view.It is evident that being more entertaining would attract more individuals, especially kids and teenagers,thereby conveying knowledge to the next generation.For instance,by making your own crockery in a ceramics museum,citizens will gain more pleasure while understanding the process of making crockery ,furthermore having interest in the history and culture. Meanwhile,in this way,it can generate more job opportunities and boost the local tourism and economy.Individuals could act as the guide for tourists and the local service industries also benefit.Furthermore,more gains from the museum tickets and other services will be utilized to collect antiques and the tax revenue on museums and tourism will also benefit the government,which will improve the local infrastructure and the welfare of inhabitants.By contrast,some people tend to think that entertaining youngsters goes contradict to the classic style of museums ,which leads to little respect to the history.That people regard the history and culture handed down from ancestors as entertainment disappoints the historians and archaeologists ,making them feel their career less meaningful.When it comes to the economy,the prosperous museum industries might also bring negative effects,such as over-crowded tourists and unguaranteed service quality.Therefore,citizens will gradually be dissatisfied and bring about the recession of museums.Admittedly,there are some drawbacks and worries about the recreational part and some actions should be taken according to the potential passive influence.However,by taking some strategies,such as controlling the tourist number,it can be improved.Making museums more entertaining is in a long run beneficial and the new ideas can be collected from the citizens.
