Art plays an important
role in the life of a man and sometimes it is next to impossible to live
without it. It is natural that the first thing that comes to my mind at
the mention of the word ‘art’ is museums. A museum is a stock of
the world’s masterpieces, it is the place, where you can enrich
knowledge, you can look at the achievements of mankind, you can satisfy
your aesthetic taste. Museums give the possibility to be always in touch
with the past and every time discover something new for yourself.
Besides, museums play an important role in the life of any nation. A
museum is just the right place to find out lots of interesting things
about history, traditions and habits of different peoples. One may find
in museums papers, photos, books, scripts, works of art, personal things
of famous people etc. All this helps us to better understand historical
events, scientific discoveries, character and deeds of well-known
personalities.
I think museums somehow effect the formation of
personality, his outlook. Every educated person is sure to understand
the great significance of museums in our life, especially nowadays, when
after the humdrum of everyday life you may go to your favourite museum,
relax there with your body and soul and acquire inner harmony and
balance.
I am a regular museum-goer. In fact I visited no less than
20 museums. Among them: the Louver, the National Gallery, the
Shakespeare House in Stratford-on Avon, the Oxford story exhibition,
Museum of Reading, Madam Tussaud’s Exhibition, the Tretyakov Gallery and
others. We can hardly find a town in our country without its «Fine
Arts» Museum.
