In the past museums store information about culture and history
In the past museums store information about culture and history. However, nowadays this information can be found through Internet. And, therefore, there is no need in museums. Do you agree or disagree?
It is true that access to information about culture and history is easily accessible on the Internet, but seeing actual things in a museum has more impact on a person compared to just reading something online. Particularly if a person has a very high interest on the topic or a study, the person would prefer to go and look at the real things in person. You can also think of the idea of just listening to a song versus going to a concert to watch the actual band, or going to a store to shop apparels rather than to just buy the clothes online. And there are reasons why people still go to church instead of just watch mass in a podcast or in a video stream. There are reasons why tourists flock to tourist spots when they can just read about them online, same reason why people are longing to meet friends in real life rather than to just communicate in social media.
I personally disagree when they say that there is no need for museums. People who go to museums will have more personal connections to the things they see, and that makes them more interested, which in turn will want them to study more about these things. Seeing actual things makes them contemplate or reflect. It makes them emotional, but focused. In fact, most people in general retain memories for a long time about things they see in museums. So I don't see museums going away soon, I believe they will be here for a very long time.
