Many museums charge for admission while others are free. Do you think the advantages of charging people for admission to museums outweigh the disadvantages
Nowadays, some of the culture centres like
museums
ask people
to buy tickets whereas the rest do not cost money
. In my opinion, there are more benefits over drawbacks when museums
are free.
On the one hand, a larger number of people
will come to visit these culture and arts
centres when the ticket is free of charge. For example
, people
who don't have a lot of money
would have more opportunities to enjoy arts
if they did not have to pay for the entrance. Furthermore
, culture and art appreciation should not be used as a method to make profits because it belongs to everyone such
as locals, tourists, students, and children even if it can help to boost the local economy.
On the other hand
, charging for tickets can increase their revenue to improve their service quality but it can largely decrease the number of visitors. Firstly
, a lot of people
do not have an interest in arts
, so they won't spend their money
on museums
, especially if they have to pay out of their pockets. Secondly
, those with low salaries or no salaries, such
as street artists or the homeless, love arts
but they cannot afford the ticket. Although
tourists might be willing to pay to go to the museums
, a lot of them are just wondering what it looks like inside instead
of understanding the meanings behind the art.
In conclusion, there are more pros when museums
are free of cost than cons. Local artists, people
with low salary and the homeless will have the chance to appreciate arts
, although
tourists' money
can help with the economy.Submitted by dingyilin1917 on
