12. Many people visit museums when they travel to new places. Why do you think people visit museums? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

Undoubtedly, museum is one of the most worthy place when one visits a new city. However, the reason why people go to museum probably varies from different kinds of people.

If you are a person who is out of town for business, marketing manager for example, maybe you need to know the local history, culture, and custom as soon as possible. It is natural because this will be helpful to the work. So, museum provides such an ideal place where you could know whatever you want about this city especially when there is only a couple of days left, at least, the favor and habit of local food must come into your mind, in this case, there won’t be a circumstance that you have no idea what is the best suitable food in a lunch-meeting with your customer, or you may be allergic to some foods so that causing an awkward situation.

Furthermore, a folk-custom lover or historian could consider local museum from a somewhat more professional vision than the businessman above do. They probably focus on some pre-designed subjects contributing to their research or study. And what’s the most distinct comparing to a businessman is that a folk-custom lover or historian must have been familiar with the local culture before their arrival to the museum. Therefore, it isn’t difficult to understand that things they are interested in or focus on are usually complicated or unexpected.

However, a more common fact when people visit a museum in a new city is that there is no particular reason to go there, or just follow the way many people do. It is normal because the priority one gives to a reason of traveling is the appealing and marvelous landscape in a place or a kind of special food. Seldom do people place the plan of visiting a museum as the first choice except those who are referred above. Another funny reason actuating people to visit a museum depends actually on some distinctive restaurants or shops, near the museum, which are to meet the demands of enormous visitors coming from various countries, and passingly see what is special in this museum next to that famous coffee bar.
