Our school often organizes numerous excursions to various museums. I believe that this is very correct, since students have a wonderful opportunity to get acquainted with the unique exhibits of the museum, as well as learn many amazing stories associated with this or that thing exhibited in the museum. I love visiting different museums, both in my native country and in foreign countries, because it is always exciting and educational. Together with my parents, I had already been to the Louvre in Paris. In our hometown, the last time we went on a school excursion was to the local history museum. A local history museum is a museum where you can learn about the life of our distant ancestors who lived in this particular region. It is in such local history museums that the soul of a certain locality is found and preserves the history of its ancestors. Such museums exhibit exhibits telling about the lives of people who lived in a given region, personal items, clothing and household utensils. After visiting the local history museum, I discovered the history of my native area from a completely different perspective! Previously, I could not even imagine that our ancestors had such developed crafts and folk crafts. In those distant times, it was difficult to live without folk crafts and mastering a craft, so a good artisan was worth his weight in gold! In some ways, we are similar to our ancestors, even today, narrow specialists in certain professions, as well as good masters of their craft, are highly valued! The local history museum reveals to you a complete picture of the development of your people, namely, how the customs, beliefs and way of life of the people changed over time. Personally, I noticed that with the change in the use of hand tools, as well as from the transition from hand tools to machine production, the lives of the people themselves changed qualitatively! All this affected both health and education, and people’s homes themselves also changed, developed communications and infrastructure appeared. I only have the best memories from visiting the local history museum, and I was impressed for a long time. I consider excursions to such museums to be very useful for students; with their help, they better assimilate the material, and also use their imagination when trying to figure out gaps in history, adding their own “bricks” to the chain of historical events.
Not long ago, my whole class and I went to our local museum. It was very interesting and educational there. I learned a lot of things that I didn’t even imagine or guess about. Also, going to the museum was especially interesting for me because I really love history. And here, in fact, there was a large historical reference book in which all the illustrations could be seen in reality.
I really like history because from it you can learn about how our ancestors lived, what they did, what was important to them, what foundations and orders reigned in their society. After all, when a person does not know his history and the past of his country, he cannot say with complete confidence that he is a patriot, that he loves and knows his Motherland. When you study your native history, many things become much clearer and closer.
The museum had an interesting exhibition from ancient times, when cavemen lived, to our modern days. It was conducted by an intelligent and smart guide. She answered all our questions, and there were quite a few. Moreover, her answers were very detailed and exhaustive. Without her, the excursion would not have been so lively, active and interesting. Because it’s quite one thing to stand at the window and read what kind of exhibits are behind the glass, what era they are, what they are called. And it’s quite another thing to hear from the lips of a knowledgeable person that it was with this spear that our ancestors fought, who lived in the same territory where we live now, but many, many centuries ago. Or, for example, that it was in such dresses that girls in Rus' got married, that they had to have a wide red belt against the evil eye and many other signs and rituals. By the way, we do some of them completely unconsciously.
But not many people are ready to say with confidence why we spit over our left shoulder when a black cat crossed our path and the like. But all this comes from the depths of time, from our distant ancestors, who gave this action a special meaning. Over time, it was lost and now you can only learn about it in museums from good guides.
I especially liked the hall, which represented the era of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Everything was done very beautifully there and it turns out that you are literally immersed in these centuries and imbued with their charm and uniqueness. There were quite a lot of historical costumes there. Women's dresses were especially elegant. They were in beautiful pastel colors, embroidered with embroidery and lace. They were complemented by openwork umbrellas and gloves. You look at such beauty and you want to try it on yourself and visit the eighteenth century. The only thing I didn’t quite understand about these outfits was the tight bodice.
It tightly encircled the waist of the ladies, making them very, very narrow. The guide said that the waists of some mademoiselles could reach thirty to forty centimeters in girth; they literally had a wasp waist thanks to corsets. I'm almost sure that it looked very unusual and beautiful. But this caused irreparable harm to health. As they say, beauty requires sacrifice. And only in the museum do you begin to understand what fees girls and women paid in order to meet the ideas of beauty in different eras.
And even though some people think that museums are not very interesting, I think it’s quite the opposite. When you visit a museum, the gates to the temple of memory and art open before you. It stores so much different information that it is simply impossible to imagine. The museum will reveal to you the secrets of bygone days, so it’s worth going there and learning a lot of new and interesting things.

The other day my friends and I visited the Russian Museum in St. Petersburg. I am a student who came from another city and have never visited such large museums before. While visiting the first rooms, I saw ordinary paintings depicting people and nature, but over time I noticed that each painting has its own character. It was clear that each picture was different and carried some kind of individual harmony. A look at nature in everyday life and at life in paintings shows how deep the artists are in their worldview; they manage to see a lot in everyone. Although I am not an artist and some of the creations remained incomprehensible to me, I admit that in many paintings I found little things that are not even noticeable at first glance, all that remains is to spend a lot of time in my own reasoning.
One has to wonder how deep-thinking people artists are. As time passed, I saw other exhibits, not only paintings, these were tools that our ancestors used to use, jewelry, painted figurines and teapots, crosses, objects carved from wood, all this was made of wood, porcelain, metal and glass. It’s amazing how many events these exhibits have survived and still live their museum life. Just think, all this has survived to this day. Most of all I liked the strangely shaped keys, there were birds, butterflies, and keys with all sorts of patterns, because people knew how to make things in such a different period of technology development from ours.
Of course, it is worth noting that the museum is mainly dominated by a large number of paintings.
I had to walk for several hours to look at even one third of all the paintings. Many of the paintings were of enormous size, which shocked me; I noticed such paintings already in the second half of my visit to the museum. The pictures were very accurate and conveyed the fullness of their meaning. But when I saw Karl Bryullov’s painting “The Last Day of Pompeii”, I could not pass without stopping; its large scale, in my opinion, is just right for describing that terrible event. I saw how accurately the faces of the inhabitants of a city in distress were depicted; this fear and horror was creatively depicted by the brushes. They also told me that the artist himself is in the picture; it is a self-portrait of the author of the picture. On the day when I visited the Russian Museum, the concepts of people's lives centuries before my birth were revealed to me. Such places introduce us to the history and culture of our ancestors, allowing us to see and experience part of that life with our own eyes.
My city is rich in its historical culture. It has a large number of monuments and memorials to the heroes of our country, Russia. There are architectural monuments - buildings where very famous people of the last century lived. I love my city and my country very much, and I am proud of my historical heritage.
One day, our class teacher decided to give us an excursion to our state museum of local lore, located in the very center of our city. My classmates and I thought it would be very boring, but when we got there, we were pleasantly surprised at how beautiful it was.
The guide was a young, pretty woman with a beautiful voice. She told a lot of interesting events and facts from the past life of our ancestors.
The museum had several halls, each of which contained paintings, chairs, tables, clothes from different periods of time in our history. I really liked the ancient weapons and daggers, which were decorated with ancient stones. In the museum, all exhibits are conveniently arranged, each has a nameplate, and some even have their own history.
After the guide took us through all the halls and told us everything he wanted about the museum, we were allowed to wander around it on our own. I could very closely see ancient tools, knightly armor, clay jugs, stuffed birds and animals. All these expositions seemed to be alive, it just seemed that time stood still a little.
Going to the museum left an indelible pleasant impression of a past life in my head. This excursion sparked my interest in history. For some time I even wanted to become a historian or archaeologist.
Our world in which we live now, which surrounds us, was created from the past and is closely connected with it. To understand the present, correct today’s and prevent future mistakes of humanity, it is necessary to look into the past and then everything will fall into place.
Essay on the topic Excursion to the museum
Recently, our whole class went on an excursion to the ethnographic museum of the peoples of Transbaikalia. The museum is located in the open air, outside the city of Ulan-Ude, in Verkhnyaya Berezovka, and occupies an area of about forty hectares of land.
Our excursion coincided with the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the opening of this museum, and we could not only observe, but also participate in the festive performances. The artists performed in national costumes, everything was colorful and exciting.
I really enjoyed my visit to this extraordinary museum. Firstly, it is located in nature, right in the forest, and the air here is clean and fresh, everything around is surrounded by greenery. On the territory of the museum there are many architectural complexes depicting the life and way of life of various peoples of Transbaikalia. Ancient houses, churches, yurts, and various outbuildings are collected here. You can go inside these rooms and see the ancient environment in which our ancestors lived. All these ancient houses and other buildings were brought here from all over Buryatia and restored. All architectural monuments are kept in perfect order, and it seems that people still live in them. The houses are very cozy and clean, and in one of the Old Believer houses, we were even treated to fresh, hot pies.
Also on the territory of this park-museum there is a zoo corner where various animals of Buryatia and other regions of the country are kept. All conditions have been created for the animals, and the fact that the museum is located in the forest gives them the opportunity to feel as if they are in the wild. Bears, wolves, camels, reindeer, tigers, and many other different representatives of the animal world live here.
A walk through such a museum is very interesting and educational. We not only looked at the unique creations of human hands, but also learned a lot about the life of different nationalities. We learned about the culture and traditions of the Evenks, Buryats, and Old Believers, and became acquainted with their customs. We saw the national costumes of these peoples, household utensils, and ancient agricultural tools.
A visit to this extraordinary open-air museum left an unforgettable impression, and I still want to return here, now with my parents, so that they too can see such incredible beauty. It’s good that in our country there are ethnographic museums that preserve not only ancient monuments, but also pristine nature.
Option 3
One day my mother decided to expand my and my father’s horizons. She said that we would go to the museum next weekend. There are many museums in our glorious city, but this museum is unusual. It is located on board the S-56 submarine, which is frozen in eternal parking, on the Korabelnaya embankment in the city of Vladivostok.
Our mother is interested in everything that has to do with the glorious Russian fleet. And the history of the submarine fleet interests her most of all. So we went to see the museum boat. It is very large, the upper part is painted gray so as not to be noticeable among the waves. Next comes a white stripe - it is called the “waterline”. And the lower part is painted green.
On the wheelhouse there is a red star and “S-56” is written in large letters. While we were walking to the boat, my mother said that she was reading a book written by the commander of this boat. Of course, we did not climb into the boat through the top hatch. An ordinary glass door was made, like in any museum. We bought tickets at the ticket office on the street, next to the boat.
When we went inside, we saw that everything there was covered with carpets, so we were given special cloth slippers with ties. They are worn on street shoes to avoid dirt. When we were all ready, the guide came - an officer in a naval uniform. Half of the boat is like a regular museum, the other half is made to look like a real boat.
Our guide began the story with the history of the creation of the submarine fleet in Russia. This was at the end of the 19th century. He told how the first submarines were delivered to Vladivostok by rail in disassembled form. They were assembled at a local shipyard.
Then he talked about the further development of the submarine fleet in Russia. It was so interesting. Mom didn’t take her eyes off the military man at all. During World War II, submarines sank German submarines. In addition, they accompanied the ships of our allies, which came to Murmansk and Arkhangelsk with cargo.
On one of the walls hung a huge portrait of the legendary S-56 commander. The commander's personal belongings and the ship's log are displayed in the window. The guide told about the exploits of this boat, how many fascist ships it sank. What trips did you take part in?
Then the fun began. We walked along a narrow corridor. Behind the glass in a tiny radio room sat a radio operator wearing headphones. Of course not real. But made as if alive. Next is the wardroom. There was an ordinary metal table screwed to the floor. There is a portrait of Stalin and Lenin on the wall.
In the bow of the boat there is a torpedo compartment. There were two torpedoes lying there. Of course, not combat. The inside is empty, except for the shell. What a pity that you can’t touch anything!
We thanked the officer for the very informative excursion, took off our slippers, and went outside. Everyone was impressed by what they saw. Dad said that it was a pity that he did not serve on a submarine.
