I never understood the benefit of public museums, especially in the internet age.
If you want to look at some artifacts without touching it, you could google it and see it.
Also in public museums a lot of artifacts get damaged due to visitors behaviors.
Wouldn’t it make more sense to keep the old artifacts at storage facility and release a high quality pictures of it instead of putting it in a museum?
Is there is a benefit for public museums?
Honestly, it is a great date place! I took my now wife to one many years ago. It was great as it gives you topics to talk about when you first start getting to know each other past “how was work/school/weekend?” Type of questions. Same with movies. Quality time where the surroundings will do a lot of the heavy lifting. 2h of not talking and then you discuss the movie. You spend an hour of having to use your social battery on a 3h of together time.
