When you arrive at the Museum you might have lots of questions about the cost.
How much money does it cost to enter and visit the museum? Usually there is a general admission for adults
and museums tend to offer some discounts, for example: for children ore retired people. Children ten years and
under might be get a discount for example. Every museum is going to be different.
Some museums offer discounts for students. If you have a valid student card, you can show this card at the
admissions booth and they will offer a discount on your admission. So, there’s many questions you can ask in
regards to admissions.
Let’s look at a couple of examples:
How much is admission? How much does admission cost?
Do you have any discounts on admission?
Throughout the year, some museums will host special events where admission to the museum is free. We’ve
even seen some museums where they pick one day of the week, for example: Mondays. And every Monday, all
year, admission at the museums will be free. Or sometimes they will say you can give a donation, so you can
give as much as you like as a donation. But the actual admission to the museum is free. So, how can you ask
about this?
Do you offer any free admission to the museum?
Are there any days of the week when the admission to the museum is free?
Do you offer a yearly membership to the museum? This is especially nice for families that like to visit often.
There are many special programs for children at museums.
When you visit a museum you will notice that they have set exhibits and exhibitions. An exhibit is a smaller
display of artifacts (a public display at an art gallery or museum), where as an exhibition is a large scale
showing of various artifacts, of the same theme.
Collection is a group of objects in the museum kept for its significance and value. For example: The museum
has a large collection of precious gems and stones.
Artifact is an object made or shaped by a human. For example: These ancient tools are artifacts in the museum.
Ask about tours at the local museum:
Do you offer guided tours at the museum?
Are there any guided tours today?
Are the tours in groups?
Do you offer one-on-one tours?
In order to find out if there are any special events or special exhibits on at the museum you can ask a couple of
helpful questions at the information desk:
Are the any special exhibits on right now?
Does the museum host any special event?
Are you allowed to take photographs?
Are you allowed to take photographs of the artwork here?
Are you allowed to touch any of the artifacts in this exhibit?
Which exhibit would you recommend we start with?
Which exhibit is the most popular?
What exhibits are on at the room?
Activity: What kind of museums are there in your town or country?
If you could go to any museum around the world, which one would you choose?
Would you like to work in a museum?

Activity 4: Now, write a short dialogue at the museum.

Talking about the Pucara de Tilcara

The Pucara de Tilcara is one of the most deeply studied and visited archaeological sites of the Quebrada de
Humahuaca. This settlement, whose earliest occupation dates back to the 8th century A.D., got to cover almost 8
densely-built hectares harboring more than a thousand people at its peak. Considering its large size and the
complexity for its outline, where main and secondary streets, neighbourhoods, and different sized-plazas can be
recognized, it can be inferred that it served as the head of a polity during the Era of warriors, rulling over the
surrounding communities. The Pucara later became one of the axes of Inca rule in the region. When the Spanish
arrived, it was the base of the curaca or chief of the Tilcaras who also enjoyed certain authority over the other
people of the valley.
In 1948 the Pucara was granted by the province of Jujuy to the Department of Philosophy and Literature of the
University of Buenos Aires. It was partially rebuilt under the guidance of Eduardo Casanova in the 1950s and
in 2000 it was declared a National Historical Monument.

quiet place for rest.

Tourist officer: Certainly, sir. What can I do for you?
Tourist: I would like to tour around the city to see some interesting places. Where do you suggest I
go?
Tourist officer: Well, what about the Pucara? It's a popular place with an ancient history. For
somewhere quieter, I recommend the Escalinatas pointing view but if you are interested in shopping
for low-priced local products, the local market is the best.
Tourist: Anywhere else?
Tourist officer: Yes, there is the Garganta del Diablo, an important mountain formation with a high
waterfall. Visitors go there to relax and exercise. You have to paid but it’s an incredible place.
