Describe a museum that you have visited. v. 1
Describe a museum that you have visited. You should say: when you visited the museum describe the museum how you felt after going there and describe your experience of the visit.   Model Answer 1: In the distant past, I have always thought of visiting a museum as a boring thing and just a waste of time. But, I had to change my opinion about it, as I felt really good and informed, after visiting one of the largest museums in my country called “. . . (Your country name). . . National Museum about a year ago or so. . . . (Your country name). . . national museum is a multidisciplinary museum which has some rare collections from several disciplines such as history, archaeology, arts and natural history. After entering the museums, I could see the first ten galleries very much dedicated to the natural heritage of my country, having displayed collections like “flora and fauna” like cereals, pulses & lentils, various insects and birds, herbal medicinal plants, sea life of our country, rare geographical specimens of deer, tigers and so on. The galleries also contain dioramas of birds and mammals in their natural habitats along with a large skeleton of a giant whale sawfish and different types of beehives, butterflies and reptiles among other things. The Museum also has a history and classical art section that displays such as ancient and medieval coins, different kinds of terracotta that were used for wall decoration in the medieval architectures. Hand axes, potteries, magnificent stone and bronze sculptures, fascinating ancient architectural specimens, ancient inscriptions and coins, manuscripts, historical documents, medals and miniature paintings are also some of the collections that are displayed in this museum in order to remind us about our glorious artworks. Anyway, the experience of visiting the museum was multi-dimensional as it didn’t only allow me to learn about many unknown and interesting facts about my country but also encouraged me to dig even deeper into some other aspects of our history and achievements that are largely ignored. Besides, the visit also allowed me to have some interesting conversation with a number of my fellow countrymen as well as international visitors who surprisingly had a lot more knowledge about my country than me! Finally, visiting the museum made me realize that we should always appreciate and remember our history, no matter how turbulent it may be, because our “past” failure and success are what made us the “nation” or “community” we are today.     Sample Answer 2: I have visited more than ten museums in total in different countries and enjoyed visiting the (tell a museum name you know about) in (say the country name) the most. I went to the museum almost two years ago while we had been in (. . . the city name. . . ). Visiting the museum was not a part of our original tour plan, but we went there as it was prominently expressing its presence to us when we visited the area for a different reason. I went there with two of my friends and a cousin who accompanied me during the tour. My cousin and one of my friends were not interested to visit the museum as they had other plans. I insisted them to go there and convinced them by saying that if you do not enjoy it, I would pay for dinner! After we bought our tickets, we entered the museum and the colossal front of the museum and the stunning garden in front of it mesmerised us. At that very time, I realised that the inside would be more astonishing. Once inside, we realised that the place was far larger than we initially thought it would be. There were five floors in the museum and the interior of the building reminded us of the imperial age. We could see the ceiling of the building from the ground floor. People from different age groups and nationalities were closely observing the museum and I had a feeling that most of them were enjoying it. Taking photos was prohibited and yet I was sometimes lured to take some snaps especially when I saw the colossal dinosaur fossil and the alien ship! The first floor of the museum had some artworks from a few famous artists around the world and sculptures from different epochs in history. The first floor gave us the impression of visiting a theatre or an art gallery rather than a museum. We came to know that some of the arts were so expensive that one could buy an island by selling it! Then we ascended to the second floor which was filled with the Second World War memoirs. Guns, tanks, documents, and other war materials from 1945 WW II had been on display there. A video documentary was showing some of the real events from World War ||. When we reached the third floor, it’s been already 2 and a half hours. We found that many costumes and traditional items from different parts of the world have been placed there. One can easily learn about the customs of different ages and countries just by visiting this floor. The next floor had more adventure and surprises waiting for us. It has placed all the major inventions of different ages. I was overwhelmed when I saw the first computer ever built, speedboat, the wheel, motor engine and a few famous inventions of history on this floor. I was so much dying to touch the first four-wheeler that had been placed there! We spent almost the whole day inside this museum. We were so enthralled to visit the place that we literally forgot to have our lunch. The overall experience was fantastic and I learned so many things in a few hours. As soon as I left the place, I planned to revisit it someday.
