Many museums charge for admission while others are free. Do you think the advantages of charging people for admission to museums outweigh the disadvantages.
In the current times, there are many museums which are charging an entry fee, while there are others in which the access is free. In my opinion, exhibitions, must charge an admission fee as the funds collected can be used in the maintenance and restoration of the museums.
However
, free entry to museums will pose some serious hazards too.
There are many advantages of charging an entry ticket to Linking Words
such
places. Linking Words
Firstly
, with the money collected from visitors, janitors can be employed who will ensure that the cleanliness of the space is maintained. Linking Words
Secondly
, security guards can be deployed to control and monitor the growing number of tourists. Linking Words
Moreover
, if it is a historical museum, the admission charge could be used in the restoration of some old artefacts, including old paintings, costumes and weapons. Linking Words

On the other hand
, asking the tourists to not pay an admission ticket has some obvious disadvantages as well. By doing so, the exhibitions become inaccessible to many. Linking Words
In other words
, the lower strata of society who are struggling to make ends meet would be unable to visit Linking Words
such
places and educate their children about history or natural science with live examples. Linking Words

such
situations.
In conclusion, museums must pay an entrance charge to ensure correct law and order is maintained. Linking Words
Therefore
, the disadvantage of the museums being Linking Words
unaffordable
to many can be ignored.Suggestion
