Question

a day at museum in 250 words essay in points wise

Answer 1

A visit to a museum in interesting as well as educative. We can understand a lot about the history and culture of a country, its industry, arts, fashions etc. by visiting a museum. Last Sunday, I along with some of my intimate friends, went to a museum at Delhi. We bought tickets and entered the museum. The bug building was divided into a number of sections. On entering the building, we saw separate sections containing many idols of Hindu gods. They looked life-like and impressive. Then we found ourselves in a hall decorated with rare pictures and paintings. We then moved to the history section. We saw certain objects belonging to the various periods of history. We then went to a big room full of ancient weapons and amours, like heavy swords, lances and shields. We saw bows, arrows, guns, spears, statues, idols, manuscripts etc. In another section we saw Kashmiri shawls, Amritsari shawls, Amritsari carpets, Peshawari embroidered turbans and rugs and many other specimens from different parts of India. The art gallery impressed us the most. It had beautiful paintings of fruits, flowers and natural landscapes. We also saw beautiful ivory work, coins and jewellery kept in showcases in another section. Then we came to a section which displayed rare manuscripts. My eyes rested on a manuscript said to belong to the Gupta period of the Indian History. A gold coin coined during Vikramaditiya’s reign drew out attention. In this way a visit to a museum provided us with a rich feast of ideas. It left a deep imprint on my mind

Answer 2

I always desired to visit the Indian Museum located in my city since I had heard that it is one of the best in the country. On a school holiday, I asked my father to take me and my friends for a visit to the museum and he readily agreed.The Indian Museum is quite large and so we were given maps right at the entrance which showed us the location of the different rooms. As we moved from one room to another, I was thrilled to see different kinds of artifacts that were displayed. Each of these objects had a short note which mentioned the date and the place from where they were collected. Of all the rooms, the one which drew my full attention was the one which contained the mummy. The room was filled with all kinds of objects excavated from the great historical place, Egypt. One of the rooms displayed the paintings and handicrafts of many famous personalities including the great Rabindranath Tagore. My friend and I were shocked to see the huge skeleton of a dinosaur. We had only read about it in books. A room on the second floor housed specimens of different kinds of birds, including the migratory birds which are not found in our country. My father insisted that we visit the room which contained the old weapons used by Indian warriors. They were of different shapes and sizes and included swords, knives and armours. In various other halls articles such as potteries, statues and jewelry were displayed that were dug out from buried towns. We had a wonderful experience visiting the Museum since it is indeed a storehouse of knowledge. It felt as if the past had come alive in front of our eyes.
