Today, museums are often used as a place where teachers bring their students and force them to pay attention outside of class. The problem with this lies in the fact that children take this to mean that all museums are boring.
This is a growing problem as Americans are getting fatter and lazier, and the world is becoming more and more technological. People are slowly starting to choose not to go to museums because they can either find what they are looking for online, or be entertained simply by staying at home and watching tv while not having to pay an admission fee. A Harry Potter museum would be a great experience for a child, and lead them to understand that many other museums are fun as well. It is important for today's children to think this way or else the entire museum business will die out.
what would be in a harry potter museum? i think you could build a play area based on harry potter stuff but what artifacts could you display in the museum? also since kids are reading less and less these days, would the museum attempt to replace the books or would it try to encourage the kids to read the books?
ReplyDeleteThe museum had many different exhibits, and it no way was meant to replace the books. On the contrary, it was actually intended to keep alive the 21th century phenomenon that enouraged many non readers to begin the habit. Kids are reading less these days, but Harry Potter turned that around a little bit.
