Our school organised on a picnic yesterday. We were taken to a Natural History Museum in New Delhi. It was my first chance to visit a museum.

A visit to a museum imparts us knowledge about the civilisation of the past. We saw swords, shields, daggers and other weapons of war. There is a rare collection of unique and ancient articles.

There are statues of Budha, Lord Krishna and other Hindu gods. There I saw a glass woman. It was made in Germany.

We also saw the dresses used by the soldiers of the olden times. We saw ancient toys, utensils and other household goods.

We saw old coins of India. We also saw many statues, pictures and portraits there.

The statues were of gods and goddesses. They were made of bronze, marble or copper. There are records of the achievements made by Indian states after independence.

The visit to museum added much to our knowledge. We could not see the whole of museum in one day. We shall go again on some other day. I was very happy to see all ancient things.
