On the other hand, a museum tour should be made an amusing event for individuals, families and sight-seeing groups. Museum-going can be as enjoyable as window-shopping in a customer-friendly department store, far from being bored by the sight of objects on exhibition simply for the educational purpose . It is important that there be at least "serious fun" about it. Without the prospect of having entertainment, many people, particularly children, might think twice before making that trip . Just because a museum is established to be chiefly educational, it does not mean that entertainment is denied. This applies to holiday-goers who are looking exactly for that kind of pleasure and relaxation which a good museum can provide.
The argument for entertainment is based on public interest in having a good time in a way very unlike studying in school. An ideal museum should therefore be a mating of entertainment and education, provoking intense and pleasurable nostalgia that none of its audience has had. It is certainly better to let any visitor feel pretty much of an "entertained student" instead of a "bored tourist".
