Many museums charge for admission while other are free. Do you think the advantages of charging people for admission to museums outweigh the disadvantages ?

A lot of government-funded museums and archaeological

centres

request an

entry

fee

during a visit, while others let us enter for free. Some people obstinate with the ideology of

fee

collection but there is a large crowd that supports it. I personally think the funds and the

fee

would benefit the

centres

preserving the culture and history of our nation,

therefore

I am an eye to eye with

this

practice. In reality, most museums and historical

centres

that are run privately are maintained by volunteers and people who work towards safeguarding the pride of our nation. If sufficient funds are not allocated by the ruling party or if the

entry

fee

is not collected from the public , eventually they will be forced to shut the

museum

.

Moreover

, auctions and bids happen on an occasional basis to sell the ancient resources that have been protected all the while. A well-funded organisation can prevent

such

auctions or even buy the resources for themselves with the money they have collected.

For instance

, Mahatma Gandhi's belongings were preserved in the Gandhi

museum

until late 2000 when the archaeological centre in Chennai bought them for 27 crores. Donations and

fee

collections could have contributed to having the belongings for themselves. People neither pay frequent visits to

museum

nor pay a huge

entry

fee

. But little contributions and donations can help in enhancing the place and the surroundings. A lot of things that are extinct in real are available in historical

centres

.

For example

, the

first

model of a cart, ancient coins and sculptures are still available to the modern world because of these

centres

. The least humans can do is to help them to save

our

belongings by providing money and

also

volunteer during their leisure time. To conclude, I think

entry

fee

has a minimal impact on developing and maintaining a

museum

, and even if

that is

banned,

then

the government will have to redo their budgets and assign 10% of the country's revenue towards the development of these archaeological

centres

.
