范文及解析
Introduction
Cultural prosperity makes a huge difference to a nation’s prospect, and to this end, museums and art galleries are the essential places for both locals and tourist to get immersed in the complex mosaic of world cultures. Therefore, while some propose that those places should focus on local works, I rather entertain the view that both local and exotic cultures should be displayed.

Body 1
Admittedly, it is justifiable for museums and art galleries to merely exhibit local artefacts. This is mainly because a shared ideology denoted by local works is a strong social bonding mechanism: locals, exposed to their unique cultural heritage, can witness the lives and core values of their remote ancestors as well as perceive the splendid civilization created by them. In this sense, not only can a city’s cultural relics remain intact, but residents’ cultural identity can also be enhanced. In contrast, if more foreign works are presented, residents, owing to their nature of seeking for novelty, are more likely to be obsessed with exotic cultures and take their own culture for granted, which may lead local customs to vanish.
解析
本国展品-好处：当地人：了解自己历史--加强民族自信；[对比论证] 忽视本土文化 + 呈现更多外来文物--本土文化流逝
denote vt. 标志，象征
a bonding mechanism n. 具有很强社会凝聚力的因素
intact adj. 完好无损的
take sth. for granted （因视作理所当然而）不把…当回事，对…不予重视
vanish vi. 消亡
Body 2
Gone are the days when a nation secluded itself from other civilizations. For individuals, they may regard their own conventions as cliched since they have already known much about it. As a result, their passion for visiting local museums and art galleries will be dampened, with functions of those places undermining. On social level, bucking the trend of globalization will render the culture lagging behind. Therefore, exotic exhibits are welcome. For one thing, museum goers, be they locals or tourists, can gain a glimpse into an overall image of world civilizations, thus spicing up their lives and promoting mutual respect among diverse cultures. Meanwhile, museum goers will not only be proud of their cultural identity when glimpsing their cultural relics in a foreign museum, but also assimilate new elements into their own culture to fit the trend of the era.
解析
本土展品-坏处：脱离多元化社会，不能与时俱进 [对比论证] 同时陈列不同国家的文物--了解文化多样性--对本土文化的自豪 & 融合新元素来发展本土文化
gone are the days when… …的日子一去不复返
seclude sth. from sth. 与…隔绝
dampen vt. 抑制
undermine vi. 逐渐衰弱

Conclusion
In a nutshell, museums and art galleries should present both domestic and exotic exhibits.
