Museums are the reflection of any culture or city or a part of art/history. Tourists rarely miss a chance to visit any city’s museum(s) in their travel plans. But, museums are not taken seriously by their own caretaker government departments because they don’t seem to generate revenue. This viewpoint needs to be changed because they are actually always on the tourists’ interest and with proper visitor facilities, like museum shop, canteen etc. can generate good revenue.
It is awkward to find that our culture is displayed in much better and beautiful light at places far away, but not at our own place, in our own museums!
Tourists are disappointed to see the museums that are haphazardly displaying art or historical objects. Curators feel helpless when they want to take good care of their collections, but cannot do much in the want of the Government Department’s ignorance regarding museums’ importance.
