It is sometimes believed that art galleries and museums are not needed any more as people can access to the history and culture of all nations through the online information in the internet. However, I believe that while people can benefit from online information about the history and culture, museums and art galleries should be given the importance as the past.
Many people can enhance their knowledge about culture and history through the internet. Due to advances in technology, they not only can find about their own nations’ history and culture, but also they have the opportunity for increasing their awareness of other nations’ history as well. For example, through the internet, they are able to watch new art galleries through social media or 3D-view of some museums which offers in the websites. This action can make affordable for those who are interested in these subjects, as they do not need to spend a lot of money to visit.
However, museums and art exhibitions must be protected and be given the importance. watching closely the ancient items that exist in the museums or visiting art works may be more intriguing compared watching through the internet. In this occasion, it is more likely that people can find out more about the cultural nuances and they are able to compare the traditions of the current local people with their ancestors or how a culture can arouse the artists’ works.
In conclusion, in my opinion, although many people can access to many art exhibitions and museums through the internet which is affordable, museums and art galleries represent and offer more advantages such as being familiar with local cultural nuances.
