There are many special events and activities organised in museums around the world and also in Cartagena, so why not take this opportunity to visit the ARQUA to you? Here is some key vocabulary to help you out:
a curator – a person who oversees and manages a museum and its collections
The curator is an expert in her field.
a tour guide – a person employed to show tourists around places of interest
Our tour guide was very informative!
preservation – to maintain something in its original or existing state
As The Roman Boats over 3000 years old, there are many people working on its preservation.
an exhibition – a public display of works of art or items of interest held in a museum or gallery for people to see
I would like to visit the Sherlock Holmes exhibition at the ARQUA Museum in October.
an admission fee – the fee charged to enter a place
Many museums in Cartagena do not have admission fees.
a donation – something that you give in order to help a person or organisation
There is a recommended donation of 2 Euros.
an artifact (artefact – UK) – an object made by a human being, of cultural or historical interest
By exhibiting artifacts from the past, museums can teach us a lot about different periods in history.
a collection – a group of accumulated paintings, documents, or artifacts grouped together by a particular theme
The British Museum collection totals at least 8 million objects.
cultural – relating to the arts and to intellectual achievements
Visiting a museum is an example of a fun cultural activity.
a gift shop – a shop that sells items appropriate as gifts
My favourite thing about a trip to a museum is visiting the gift shop!
to wander (around) – to walk slowly across or around an area, usually without clear purpose.
