Some people believe that the museums and historic sites should be open for free for children under 18. Do you agree or disagree?

A

number

of people think that children under 18 should be given freely the opportunity to visit public museums and ancient sites. I completely agree with

this

view and I believe that these cultural destinations play an important role in teaching art,

culture

and

history

to teenagers.

First

of all, a

museum

and historical site can serve educational purposes for teenagers.

However

, today, many children do not have a chance to see even a local

museum

or historical site because they are not affordable for every

child

.

For instance

, many parents find the entry fee of a typical

history

museum

expensive.

Therefore

, they do not support children to experience a

museum

visit. That’s why making all museums free for children under 18 is a necessity.

Secondly

, cultural destinations

such

as art museums, ancient sites help children to improve a sense of

history

and

culture

. If these destinations are free of charge for children, the

number

of

child

visitor will increase remarkably which every

child

, in turn, can learn a variety of knowledge and information about their past and

culture

.

For instance

, after the Swedish government provided children with the free-entry service for all museums and historical sites and buildings. After that, the overall

number

of visitors has increased by 50% across Sweden.

In addition

, the children, who visit museums, have had higher scores in

history

and art classes.

Hence

, it goes without saying that the free-entry service contributes to the

number

of visitors and improve children’s academic performance. In conclusion, every

child

should freely attend in the

museum

and historical site visits, as the affordability of both is not suitable for every

child

, and

also

they can educate many children in terms of their academic scores and their knowledge about

history

and

culture
