Where can you get beauty, knowledge and insight(深刻的见解) all in one? The answer is probably a museum.

There is a long list of benefits someone can get from going to a museum. However, the best part of museum is they encourage people to become lifelong learners.

Socrates once said, “Wisdom begins in wonder.” Each time you visit a museum, it could spark(激起) an interest in a field you might never have heard before. Every time we go through museum exhibits, we see something we didn’t know anything about. It encourages us to go home and look up more information.

To help students better understand what they have learned in schools, many schools use museums as a tool to add to their curriculum(课程). For example, you may have learned about static(静电) in physics classes. But in a science museum, you can have a more hands-on experience of how amazing static can be. When you touch a big ball full of static electricity, all your hair stands up straight like an angry lion!

In the US, there is the New York Museum Education Act. It says that New York’s museums and schools should become partners to help students prepare for the 21st century. In China, the government asks more schools to organise more museum trips. Earlier this year, the popular travel website Trip Adviser asked its users to rank(评级)theirs favourite museums. They picked the top 25 museums in the world. The first three are: The Metropolitan Museum of Art,New York, US. Musee d’Orsay, Paris, France and the Art Institute of Chicago, US. The Museum of Qin Terracotta Warrior and Horses in Xi’an, Shanxi is the only Chinese museum on the list, which was ranked 23rd.

So come to the museums and there are lots of things to see.

“It’s not a problem. Just ______ Craig and you’ll know the way.” Bronto smiled. Craig was the fastest runner in our class. Then Bronto said, “For the last hundred meters, just throw your head back and run.”
