Hi everyone,
Museums are very significant towards finding out pieces of history that are held dear to everyone. They are very important to see things that we see in books or in media. For example, eating in real life and watching someone eat are completely different, except in a museum it is like having a look at what someone is about to eat, before they eat it. The only problem is that you can’t eat it because other people won’t be able to see it, and appreciate it. Now if you replace food with artefacts you will get the point of a museum.
In education, museums are significant as they can bring a school to life, by seeing these artefacts. So if children see the best food in the world, but they can’t eat it, they will research whatever they can to learn more about that type of food. MINAS! However, in some museums, there are replica artefacts that can be touched and handled by children, but still aren’t being able to be taken home.
I personally don’t like museums, as I find documentaries much more entertaining, and the admission fee is zero. Also, they are much more likely to be shown in your history class. Because I am only 16, I probably won’t appreciate museums until I am older, or that is what my parents tell me all the time.
The most recent museum visit that I actually liked for once was in fact a museum called the Bradman Museum. If you don’t know who Bradman was, you are obviously not a fan of cricket. Bradman was perhaps the greatest cricketer of the 20th century. The most famous thing about him was his legendary batting average of 99.94. This museum is also has a Hall of Fame, and it can be found here: http://www.internationalcrickethall.com/whats-here/ . Because I have been to the actual museum myself, I believe I am qualified enough to review it, without bothering to look at the virtual museum tour that happens to be on the link.
The first bit of the museum is the Bradman Gallery. This is all about Sir Donald Bradman, yes SIR. The reason why he was knighted, was because he was that good at cricket, and inspired many others to play the game. He also did many great things off the field as well.
Next is the history of cricket. This is for people who don’t know much about cricket. Interactive exhibits try to replicate the game of cricket, but they are nothing like the game itself. For people who want to experience the pinnacle of cricket, they should get tickets to the first day of the Boxing Day test.
There are also many other sections such as: Cricket and the Media, The world of cricket, science of cricket, and Greats of the Game.
But the best bit of the museum for me was the shop, because I can buy my full cricket kit there and experience almost the same thing as what Bradman did. Overall, I thought the museum was very good.
