Places such as museums play an irreplaceable role in modern lives.
This essay will outline the main functions of them and suggest
some possible ways in which they could be funded.
Public museums are institutions that collect and safeguard historical or artistic
objects and works and make artifacts and specimens accessible,
which they hold in trust for society. In a way, they are the only source of living
history and perhaps an insight to the future that lies before us.
So the significance of them also lies in their roles as a national memory bank.
High importance is also placed on the role of museums in providing an ideal learning
environment, enabling children and adults to enter worlds that they may otherwise never get to know.
Now many museums set aside study days to allow more intensive exploration of the cultural
background of an exhibition or area of the collections. With the rise of technology,
public museums are able to provide the mass with interactive education on the spot.
