Section 1: Your Personal Experiences
What museums have you been to?
Until now, I have been to Musée Du Louvre, British Museum, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Tate Modern, Vatican Museums - Musei Vaticani and National Gallery.
Do you feel comfortable when visiting a museum? Why or why not?
Yes, I feel comfortable while visiting museums because I get to learn a lot from them and get moments of happiness and relaxation. For instance, when I visited the Metropolitan Museum of Art, I got to know that it has a huge collection of artworks, ranging from ancient Egypt and classical antiquity to sculptures and European and American art.
How can museums make themselves more accessible to diverse visitors?
I strongly believe that museums should display diverse artworks or sculptures rather than focusing on one them...
