Many museums charge for admission while others are free. Do you think the advantages of this outweigh the disadvantages?
It is commonly believed that
art
plays a fundamental role in society, as artists are able to express their culture and thoughts through their works. Countries have various strategies of promoting arts among the population, one of the strategies is making admission to art
exhibitions free of charge
. However
free entrance
has its disadvantages, which are going to be discussed in this
essay.
Free admissions are not beneficial on many levels. To start with, if art
galleries stop charging for entrance
, they would need subsidies from the government. However
, it would be more rational for the government to allocate funds addressing more essential issues related to healthcare, education, etc. Secondly
, museums with no entrance
charge
are generally more overcrowded. Consequently
, visitors cannot enjoy artworks, because of constant distraction by others. Additionally
, there is a high risk that visitors can damage some exponents because people
generally respect more the things they pay for.
Correct quantifier usage
more.
Lastly
, all the funds received from admissions can be spent to support museum needs. To illustrate, museum administration has various expenditures, such
as monthly wages of employees, maintaining required air condition, etc.
Alternatively, it is obvious, that if art
galleries charge
for entrance
, it would affect accessibility for the population. Some people
would not be able to buy a ticket, they would rather buy more essential goods. A feasible solution to this
issue would be supporting only vulnerable strata of the population. More specifically, students and old people
should be granted free admission access. Thus
, art
would be accessible to people
of all income groups.
To sum up, I am convinced that museum and other art
entities should charge
for entrance
. Even so, museums should be accessible to everyone. Therefore
, the administration of exhibitions should provide flexible pricing.Submitted by shoira.shakirovna on
