Many museums charge for admission while others are free. Do you think the advantages of charging people for admission to museums outweigh the disadvantages?

Over the years, museums have housed valuable relics and historical works of arts which are still cherished till today.

admissions far outweighs any drawbacks that might be recognized. Admittedly, there are some perceived disadvantages of

Firstly

This

would in turn create some form of inequality between those who are financially buoyant and those who aren’t.

would ultimately deter a good number of people from visiting.

Secondly

admission

charges could be considered by some as exploitative and unfair.

For instance

, many

historians believe that a good experience at the

should essentially be free as historical relics are to be used to bolster culture and cultural heritage and as

such

no price tags should be placed on them.

Nevertheless

, despite the disadvantages above, there are numerous benefits a society gains from

of more public services, healthcare and infrastructure.

This

would invariably lead to better welfare of the populace in that society.

Furthermore

, people tend to attach value to experiences that are paid for. In an Australian study of tourists visiting historical land sites and museums, it was gathered that tourists ultimately placed more value on historical land sites and museums that had some form of payment than those that were considered free. In conclusion, museums have been regarded as a significant form of cultural heritage
