A museum is a repository (place) for the collection, exhibition and study of the objects of artistic, scientific or historic interest. The museum in Jaipur situated in Sawai Gardens is housed in a big building. It is very big museum and attracts many visitors every day.
Last year, I had a chance to visit this museum. It is really a treasure house of rare articles of arts and crafts and wonderful things of the past. I saw a life size statue of Lord Buddha. It was made of stone. A few bronze statues were also there.
They were thousands of years old and speak of India’s advancement in sculpture (an art of carving).
The museum is divided into sections. One section has pottery from Pune. The other section has brass-work of Jaipur. The third section has walnut screens from Kashmir. The fourth section has fossils of some old goods excavated from Harappa.
Some coins and ornaments of those days are also displayed there. How surprising it is to find that ladies 10000 years back were in no way behind the ladies of modern time of fashion in the use of ornaments and jewellery.
Another section has arms of past days. I saw a few heavy swords. I was told that those swords were of Rana Pratap and Shivaji. I saw a few coins of the Gupta period. There are numerous paintings of Rajput warriors. These paintings give an insight into the glories of Rajasthan.
The Health section contains skeletons of men and animals. They are carefully preserved. The skeleton of a horse is very striking as it shows the working of the organs of its body.
The visit to the museum was very interesting for me. It laid bare before e my mental eye the glorious past of India and the heroic life of people of Rajasthan.
Set 4: Essay On A Visit To A Museum 500 Words
Last week our class was taken to visit a museum. We went with our history teacher, Miss Harshada. School had arranged a bus. We were asked to carry a pen, a book, and our water bottles. However, we had to leave our water bottles on the bus. It took almost two hours to reach the museum. We all were very happy and excited to learn something new from this visit.
We visited one of the important Gandhi Memorial Museums in the country called βMani Bhavan Gandhi Sangrahalaya’. As soon as reached, each one of us had to enter through a metal detector. It nearly took three hours to see all the things kept on display.
We came to know that Mani Bhavan was one of the few important places blessed by Mahatma Gandhi and his close associates. It was the place where Gandhiji lived from 1917 to 1934 and discussed different matters with his co-workers. Our teacher told that Gandhiji shaped the nation in the image of his important principles of truth and non-violence. He inspired his followers and believers to encourage others with a sense of service and sacrifice.
The teacher asked us to maintain discipline and silence. All were instructed to walk in a single straight queue. She further told us that Mani Bhavan is known as a Research Institute in Gandhian Thought and Rural Development. Until now, I had gathered some important facts.
Now it was time to start our actual visit. We were first taken to a library on the ground floor. The librarian informed us that the library had more than 50,000 books. The collection contained books by and on Gandhiji, his thoughts, and similar subjects.
Now we were taken to the first floor where there was an auditorium. Here films on Gandhiji were shown. Even recordings of his speeches could be played on request. The auditorium was also used for holding meetings, discussions, and various school and college competitions.
Now we were asked to walk upstairs on the second floor. The room on this floor was used by Gandhiji as his living room and working place. We learned that the room was preserved as far as possible in its original setting. Next to this room was the display of about twenty-eight tables. This display showed incidents in Gandhiji’s life through mini-figures.
We also saw a picture gallery showing the important events in Gandhiji’s life. It displayed posters describing major events and photocopies of some letters, articles, and documents written by and about Gandhiji. There were captions in Hindi and English languages. We were told that the terrace of the building was used by Gandhiji to hold his prayers and to sleep.
My wonderful visit to such an educational place was just about to end. It was time to get back on our bus. Before I entered the bus, I bought Gandhiji postage stamps and his beautiful white statue from the sales counter. Really, it was a very successful visit.
