Museums (46) They are no longer places
for the privileged few or for bored vacationers to visit on rainy
days. (47) Some of the old, gray museums
have been rebuilt, and the newer ones are open and modern in their architecture.
Inside, there is modern lighting, color, and sound. Instead of displaying
everything they own, museum directors show fewer objects and leave open spaces
where visitors can gather and sit down. They also bring together in one display
a group of objects drawn from various parts of the museum in an effort to
represent the whole lifestyle of a region or a historical period.
(48) . More and more, museum directors are
realizing that people learn best when they can somehow become part of what they
are seeing. In many science museums, for example, there are no guided tours. The
visitor is encouraged to touch, listen, operate, and experiment so as to
discover scientific principles for himself. He can have the experence of
operating a spaceship or a computer. He can experiment with glass-blowing and
paper-making. (49) The theory is that people who do not
understand science will probably fear it, and those who fear science will not
use it to best advantage. Many museums now provide educational
services and children’s departments. In addition to the usual displays, they
also offer film showings and dance programs. (50) .
A The purpose is not only to provide fun but also to help
people feel at home in the world of science. B
Museums have changed. C In one room, for
instance, you may find materials, clothing, tools, cooking pots, furniture, and
art works of a particular place and time. D Instead
of being places that one "should" visit, they are places to enjoy.
E There are open spaces that museums leave for
visitors. F Many museums have changed in
appearance.
