1. DISCUSS THE IMPONTANCE OF MUSEUMS AS TOURIST ATTRACTION IN TOURISM

In this century we hardly to see people who put interest into museum, although there are a lot of benefit by visiting museum still the are some people who did not see visiting museum as a decent trip, when we visit museum there are a lot of object, information and history that we can get by visiting museum. Museum is a place where by there are a lot of physical cultural heritage for instance artefact, by coming to museum work as a visual reference for tourist to check out the physical thing that they are can only feel by coming directly to museum not only through read article see on television and other media  and so on since by coming to museum why will get a better underderstanding when sightseeing  and obviously more experience.

There is no doubt that the role of the museum is to involve and educate the tourist. Museum exhibits inspire interest in fields of study, goods, timeframes, or ideas  but there is more that happens in museums with regard to education than might be thought.

Schools oftenly rely heavily on museums to improve their curriculum. Galleries become classrooms, and not only for children. Even the museum itself has an interesting history to inspire and educate visitors. It's almost impossible to get out of the museum without getting any information or insights during your visit. 

Museums provide inspiration through personal connections with visitors, and not only on site and through physical community outreach efforts some even manage to connect through their social networks.  These kinds of personal memories created at museums do not expire. Museums are examples of informal learning environments, which means they are devoted primarily to informal education  a lifelong process whereby individuals acquire attitudes, values, skills and knowledge from daily experience and the educative influences and resources in his or her environment.

A single visit to a museum can expose visitors to in-depth information on a subject, and the nature of the museum environment is one in which you can spend as much or as little time as you like exploring exhibits. The environment allows you to form your own unique experiences and take away information that interests you. Despite the success that museums have already had in educating visitors, there continue to be ongoing discussions among institutions in regard to increasing museums’ ability to connect through informal learning.

1. EXPLAIN THE ORIGIN OF MUSEUM

The understanding of museum from time to time is always changing. This is because the museum always experiences changes in its function and presence by the eye of the society. The museum is a social or cultural phenomenon and follows the history of the development of society and culture that uses the museum as a social or cultural auditorium.

A museum tells the story of man throughout the world. It tells how humanity has survived in its environment over the years. It storing things created by nature and by man. In modern society it houses the cultural soul of the nation. The word museum is comes from the Greek word Mouseion which means the seat of Muses. The name museum indicates a temple of Muses. Greek mythology tells us that Muses were the daughter of Zeus, the Greek Jupiter. They were born in Peira at the foot of Mount Olympus the mountain of gods. Nine of them were regarded as the divinities who presided over arts and science.

As time goes by the concept of museum change of over the past centuries, at the first museum used for storing object and instrument that related to knowledge and art, it changes into place to storing objects that considered sacred. This changes increase in mid-century, at that time museum used for place to store object or instrument own by royal family, noble, artist and so on.

Object such as arts that comes from outside europe are the origin that play a role to make the basis for the growth of large museums in Europe. This museum is rarely opened to the general public because of its collection is a place of show off from its owner and is usually only shown to relatives or close people. The museum has also been interpreted as a collection of knowledge, this happened in encyclopedic times namely the post Renaissance era in Western Europe, marked by the activities of people who were curious to expand their knowledge of flora, fauna and about the earth and the surrounding universe. The phenomenon of the establishment of the museum appeared at the end of the 18th century along with the development of knowledge in Europe.
