Some museums and art galleries charge admission fees, while others have free entry. Do you think the advantages of admission fees outweigh the disadvantages?

In the contemporary era, it is often observed that an individual needs to purchase a ticket in order to

and art exhibitions.

However

This

means that the authorities would have adequate money to pay the salaries of their employees and to maintain the infrastructure. If

For example

people

could see Bhagat Singh's, who was a freedom fighter, clothes and various other items. The manager of the museum revealed in a press conference that they were able to renovate the infrastructure with the collection of

ticket money.

However

, the major drawback to charging admission fees is that it would prevent

affecting the total number of visitors.

For instance

, Victoria Memorial, which is situated in Kolkata, witnessed a drop in the total number of individuals, who visited the premises annually after they imposed an

fee. To conclude, I would like to reiterate that the benefits of an

entry

fee to

museums

and art exhibitions prevail over the downsides.
