Museum and art galleries are very important to preserve history and cultures of the country. In

this

essay, I would discuss why it is important and advantageous to impose

entry

fee

reather than free

entry

. There are many advantages of applying

entry

fee

to the museums and art gallaries.

Firstly

, the money collected in

this

form will be usefull to maintain thier infrastructure and collections.

For example

, the New Taipei Museum runs by own funding

thus

it has attarctive artifacts and portraits in comparison to Taipei Government Museum which has free

entry

and government funded.

Secondly

, if these are paid

then

they are bound to have some exhibitions and other attractive programmes so that they can pull more visitors - especially students - to learn about their histrorical and cultural understandings. Applying

entry

fee

to these centers

also

have few disadvantages:

although

some rich

people

can visit these sites without thinking about money, some poor

people

and students deprived of getting knowledge about their culture; another disadvantage is that curators have no enthusiasm in arranging events and taking care of due to less audiences.

However

, these

people

can be supported by government aids to see these historical sites and they can still gain knowledge of ancient culture. In conclusion, it is advantageous to charge admission

fee

to museums and art gallaries in maintaining and exhibiting shows;

however

,

this

have some disadvantage of attracting less

people

and remain away from gaining knowledge. But, advantages outweigh disadavantages because students get better opportunity to learn about their history and culture as these sites are well-maintained and up-to-date.
