The above chart shows China’s consecutive growth in numbers of museums and museum visitors from 2013 to 2015. In general, we can see both numbers are on a rising trend. According to the given data, the growth of museums experienced a slowdown while the number of museum visitors still grows rapidly year by year.

The notable changes can be attributed to the following reasons. For one thing, this phenomenon shows that the country is paying great attention to the cultural undertakings, and numerous museums are constructed and open freely to the public. For another thing, with the rising of people’s living standard, it has become natural that people gradually attach greater attention to the spiritual nutrition. Thus, visiting museums has become a willing choice for more people.

From what has been discussed above, we may conclude that the increase of museums and museum visitors has become a trend for people’s need to enrich spiritual world. What remains to be done is to improve the construction of spiritual culture to meet citizens’ need.

这一显著的变化可以归因于以下几点。一方面，这一现象显示了我国正在关注文化事业，建立了许多博物馆并向公众免费开放。另一方面，随着人们生活水平的提高，人们自然更加注重精神建设。因此，参观博物馆成为更多人自发的选择。

根据上述讨论，我们可以总结出，由于人们丰富精神世界的需求，博物馆和博物馆参观人数的增长已经成为一种趋势。我们要不断改善精神文化建设，满足市民的要求。
