Do you think museums are important?
(Answer 1)

Absolutely! Because of the existence of museums, we get to widen our understanding of culture, history, and traditions.

Are there many museums in your hometown?
(Answer 1)
Unfortunately not, my hometown is just so small with only less than 5, 000 residents. It’s a remote hometown where all you can see are farms, lakes, and mountains. So, if we want to visit museums we need to travel to the city which normally takes us 5 hours by car.
(Answer 2)
Yes, there are plenty of museums in our hometown since it’s the center of tourism. We have museums of art, science, military and war, history, and archaeology. Honestly, I’ve had enough of those museums, I mean, I visited all of those innumerable times for education purposes since I was little up to my college days. For me, they’re not special anymore.

Remote [adj.] – faraway; far off
Archaeology [noun] – the study of human history and prehistory
Do you often visit a museum?
(Answer 1)
No, it’s such a shame to admit but I’m not the type who enjoys strolling around museums. I know the importance of those museums but I feel like I easily get bored. I couldn’t stay for long learning those things that we can find in museums like artifacts. I’m sorry to say, I’m not entertained by museums.
(Answer 2)
Well, just rarely these days but when I was a student, I oftentimes visited museums for the obvious reason – it’s for our history or art education class. We needed to visit lots of museums so we could expand our knowledge and appreciate art and history better. It was actually fun, learning some things that we couldn’t learn in the classroom.

Artifact [noun] – an object made by humans, one of cultural or historical interest
When was the last time you visited a museum?
(Answer 1)
Well, let me recall, I suppose that was early last year before the imposition of the lockdown. I went to an art museum with my friends to support our dearest friend who is an artist. His artworks were included in the art exhibition in that art museum and we dropped our jaws with awe at the amazing works of the artists who joined the exhibition. We’re so proud of our friend because he’s in line with those great artists.
(Answer 2)
If my memory serves me right, the last time was when I traveled to Tokyo, I went to the National Art Center. I was mesmerized by its architecture. That was stunning. Also, I was surprised because it’s not a traditional museum, that museum is an empty museum – without collections or permanent display. That museum is for temporary exhibitions sponsored by organizations.
