观点类大作文，文化类话题
In the past, important knowledge about culture and history was stored in museums. Nowadays, information is freely available on the Internet; therefore, there is no longer any need for museums. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

以前，文化和历史的重要知识储存在博物馆里。如今，信息可以在互联网上自由获取，因此博物馆不再需要。您是否同意？
这是一道观点类大作文，聊得是博物馆是否有存在意义。审题的时候需要题目观点中的因果关系，因为“现在信息可以网上获取”，所以“博物馆没有意义”，遇到因果关系时，我们可以分析“因”、“果”本身否有问题以及因果逻辑是否有漏洞来进行反驳。下面月半鸭和大家一起来看下观点。
首先，题目观点的合理的点在于，人们想要了解一些历史知识或者文物知识确实可以通过网络而非一定要去博物馆，并且网上可能有更加详细的文字来介绍相关内容。
但是，这并不代表着博物馆就能被替代，原因有三方面。
一是现实中的历史文物观感上更有冲击力。无论是巨大的青铜鼎、还是几百平方米的兵马俑，这些实物所能给人的观感是无法通过网上图片就能体会到的。
二是博物馆有更好的观赏氛围。博物馆能够配合展示内容提供相应的灯光效果和环境，给人更加理想的浏览过程，这是坐在电脑或手机前难以体会的。
三是博物馆本身不仅是展示文物和信息，其本身还是一个地区历史和文化的象征。博物馆的存在不仅能够传承当地历史文化，还能吸引许多外地游客参观并让对方留下深刻印象，以达到传播文化及促进不同文化之间的相互理解。
Museums tend to be declining in popularity as Internet accessibility improves and more individuals seek cultural and historical knowledge online. However, I believe museums still hold a distinct and irreplaceable value.
Firstly, even though artefacts and exhibitions can be viewed on computer screens, the experience of diving deeper in a historical setting cannot be matched by merely clicking on a digital gadget. Museums provide visitors with a three-dimensional environment to explore, thanks to their adequate decorative elements and elaborate arrangements. The sophisticated lighting and precise display of the artefacts in a mediaeval gallery create the impression that the world has been transported back in time. Besides, it would be much easier for visitors to comprehend the stories behind the exhibits and form an authentic emotional attachment with them if they were given a comprehensive introduction by tour guides who have expert knowledge about the collections, rather than looking at pictures and uninteresting descriptions on a website.
Museums, in addition to displaying and restoring priceless cultural artefacts, serve as a showcase for a city's history and culture. Tourists visit museums to create lasting memories of their travel destination, while locals come to obtain a greater understanding of their town and to develop a cultural feeling of self-assurance. In this aspect, museums promote cultural identification and cross-cultural contact, both of which are practically impossible to achieve in a virtual world.
In conclusion, even though the internet has made it possible for people to learn everything they need to know about history and culture, museums are still important because they offer unique experiences and show the attractiveness of a city.
