Many people visit museums when they travel to new places. Why do you think people visit museums? Use specific reasons and details to support your answer.

There are many reasons why travelers visit museums all over the world. Some find them gripping and useful in order to broaden their horizons. Others find them entertaining and catching. On the other hand, many tourists visit museums just because these places are prominent and someone told them that these buildings of art must be visited. Whatever are the reasons, let’s consider some of them.
Firstly, I think that every country has its conspicuous museums and they should be visited. A lot of them have turned into symbols of their countries. For instance, the Louvre in Paris catches every visitor’s eye. Disposing of a wide array of well known masterpieces it draws every traveler and few are those who have ever visited Paris without visiting this awe-inspiring place.
Secondly, there are a lot of extravagant and quite bizarre museums; museums of rubbish, museums of beer, museums of weed even museums of bad art. These curious places attract a lot of visitors mainly because of their outlandish subjects. To illustrate this point, in the Netherlands has a museum of weed. Not only do the visitors pay a lot of interest to it, but they also try weed because it is forbidden in most countries.
Thirdly, some museums are visited because the travelers become aware of the traditions and legends of the country. Visiting, for example, a national historic museum, a visitor familiarize with the identity and the history of the country which can definitely come in handy.
In conclusion, I think that museums can always be interesting and useful for a visitor. They are compulsory attraction for a foreigner because he can explore something new for the country and gain a common knowledge.
