Why art

Art usually gives an impression of 'hard to understand'. But the worlds' famous museums are always full with travelers. It's nothing special for people who are interested in art to visit those places. But not everyone is like that.

Although I'm one of those who think of art as 'hard to understand'. I may still put museums in my visit list if there's a chance to travel. In my first thought, the reason people visit those places is because its famous. Although I do not know what those are all about, there might be something special since it's a famous spot. And those popular sights can get more attention from the manager(like the government). So at least the surrounding will not be too bad.

If to think deeply, although we may not know the artists special personal style, which is, we do not know what to look at. But artworks are also the reflection, and concentration of the local culture. You don't have to stay there for days or months or walk around to really see what there life looks like. The artworks will tell you.

If you say the famous artworks can already be seen in books, on TV, on the internet, or you already have a copy at home. But a REAL one still feels different from a fake one. Even though we can not tell the difference. The feeling is different(And the price is also very different.)

Another benefit may be that you'll get new topics to talk about the next time you meet others. You can happily share your experiences with each other and keep the conversation goes on. No matter what the reasons are, people will continue to visit those museums.
