There’s a Museum for Everyone

What comes to mind when you think of a museum? Perhaps you 【1】 an imposing building in a rather conventional（传统的）design made of high-quality stone? Perhaps you imagine a classic 【2】, such as the museum of natural history, the museum of fine art, or the national museum -- its exhibits displayed in a time - 【3】 style and falling in line with tradition.

Some people might consider these customary institutions the best way to 【4】 the future of typical educational topics. A museum of old breadboards, they may say, does not make up an orthodox（正统的）exhibition. But according to the Museum Association, a museum is defined as a place enabling “... people to 【5】 collections for inspiration, learning and enjoyment.” And so of the 2500 estimated museum in the UK, a few are bound to be considered a little unconventional.

Instead, it displays all of its 【10】 treasures, which include dodo bones, shrunken heads and a collection of McDonald’s Happy Meal toys, with no explanation at all.
