A museum is building a collection of works that are preserved for their value as works of cultural heritage. Which of the following works would be best choice for this collection?
A. A pair of earrings valued at $100,000.
B. An old oil painting that is badly decaying.
C. A piece of furniture owned by a famous political ruler.
D. A drawing illustrating an ancient festival.
D. A drawing illustrating an ancient festival.
The best choice for the collection would be a work that holds cultural significance and can provide valuable insight into the history and traditions of a particular time or culture. A drawing illustrating an ancient festival fits this criteria as it can provide valuable information about historical cultural practices. The other options do not necessarily hold the same cultural value or significance. The monetary value of the earrings or the fame of the furniture owner does not necessarily make them culturally significant, and an old oil painting that is badly decaying may not be able to offer much in terms of cultural heritage value.
The best choice for the collection of works preserved for their value as works of cultural heritage would be:
D. A drawing illustrating an ancient festival.
This choice aligns with the purpose of preserving works of cultural heritage as it represents a visual depiction of an ancient festival, providing historical and cultural significance. The other options do not necessarily represent cultural heritage or have significant value in terms of cultural significance.
