Would you like to be noisy in museums?

Museums can be home to some of the most exciting items and objects from around the world, but a lot of these buildings can be almost silent.
How would you feel about being allowed to let some of your excitement out - by being able to run around and make some noise?
Well, a number of museums and galleries across the UK are letting you do just that during the summer holidays as part of a new scheme.
What do you think? Would you want to do that? Or do you like being able to enjoy a museum in more of a quieter environment? Let us know in the comments below!

The scheme is called 'Kids Aloud' and lets you express yourself as loudly as you want during certain hours.
It was launched by the charity Art Fund, which surveyed 1000 parents and found that more than half were worried their children would run around and break something in a museum.
More than 20 museums and galleries across the UK will be taking part.
Carolyn Young, who is the director of Art Fund, said they wanted to show that they can be great places for children and somewhere "they can have a really joyful time".
The Dulwich Pictures Gallery in London is one of the places that will be holding the noisy hours.
One child called Otti has already visited the gallery during that time and said it was "relaxing and nice".
Jennifer Scott, who is the director of the gallery, said she wanted children to feel inspired by the artwork and said "it's not about being hushed and quiet".
