I love the beauty of history and the stories that it entails. I think it is important for a museum to showcase both physical objects, literature, explanations and photographs to detail what has happened, what is happening and why.

As a museum visitor and a photographer myself here in Arizona I always think of the story that a picture is telling, and could re-tell in the future. I will be starting a site to showcase the history and current beauty of Arizona.

When I take my children to a museum it always amazes me the deeper understandings they have of our past even at their young ages. I think museums are important and should showcase the good and the bad, the beautiful and the perceived ugly, of history and science.

I agree that in visiting a museum, we can enrich one’s understanding of the past. We have a way of knowing how people live and how they have adapted themselves in the ever changing society in which they are a part of.

I always enjoy visiting museums. It can give me great inspiration for Music Lesson Plans for my students.

Museums should remain a quiet place for reflection and study of artifacts from different cultures around the world.

I thoroughly enjoy visiting museums. I especially like learning about ancient cultures and have visited museums in New York City and London. Living museums, such as Williamsburg, Plimoth Plantation and Surbridge are also interesting and give young children a taste of the past.
