Project 3: A museum display

People put things in museums because they are:

• very old


• interesting


• important


• valuable

Yes, I know of a museum. There are old artifacts, paintings, and historical documents in it.

I like old things like ancient coins, pottery, and traditional clothing.

Examples of museum display items:

Here are some examples of items that might be found in a museum display:

• Ancient pottery


• A crown


• An old car


• A shield with a coat of arms


• A Roman bust or statue


• A traditional fan


• A chariot pulled by a deer


• A dinosaur skeleton


• A rocket

Make up your own museum display.

You can choose things from your country or from another country. You can choose very old things or newer, interesting things.

Find pictures on the internet or draw them. Stick them in a notebook or on a poster. Name the objects. Describe some of them. Talk about your display.

Example Display 1: Egypt a long time ago

My display is about Egypt a long time ago. I chose this because ancient Egypt is fascinating with its pyramids, pharaohs, and hieroglyphs.

Objects included:

• Pyramid


• Pharaoh statue


• Ancient Egyptian boat


• Hieroglyphs on a tablet

Example Display 2: The Rainforest

My display is about the rainforest. There are lots of different animals...

Objects included:

• Parrot


• Sloth


• Monkeys


• Frogs


• Butterflies


• Lush vegetation

Answer: The reasons for putting items in museums are that they are interesting, important, and valuable. Examples of museum items include ancient pottery, crowns, old cars, and historical figures. My own display could focus on ancient Egypt or the rainforest, featuring relevant artifacts and images.
