Homework

1. I visit museums once or twice a year. Mostly with school.

2. I prefer general museums because i like to see many different subjects
and things in museums.
3. Muzej iluzija and Muzej grada Zagreba are last two museums that I have
been to. They are in my city and I recommend Muzej iluzija because it is
really amusing.

1.
1. Pros of encyclopaedic museums are that it has many different objects from
the world. They are also very educational and can teach you a lot about many
topics. Cons of encyclopaedic museums are that they take many objects from
old places during the time of war.
2. The objects were aquired during Britain’s colonial period and they were
probably stolen so many countries wanted them back which is reasonable.
3. The Rosseta Stone will probably not be returned to Egypt because many
people think that London is safer and more popular place then Cairo. On the
other hand many people from Egypt can not afford to go to London to see their
own national treasure.
4. The Elgin Marbles were stolen from the Partheon temple and lord Elgin took
the sculptures and damaged the monument. British people think that he had
permission to do so.
5. I think its not very different from theft because its still taking objects from
someone and they should be returned to origin country.
