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

Museums

are a great place filled with wonder and mystery, where an individual learns about how their ancestors lived, what kind of items they used, etc. And, some

museums

have an admission charge while some do not. I believe the advantage of

this

entry

fee

far outweighs its disadvantage because many

museums

wouldn’t be able to protect their ancestral possessions without it.

First

and foremost, charging a hefty amount on

visitors

can undeniably have some adverse effects.

Firstly

, the entrance

fee

can affect the popularity of

museums

as the citizens will hesitate to visit

museums

, and

this

will majorly reduce the number of

visitors

.

Secondly

, people will not be able to access essential information and gain knowledge about historical relics, antiquity, etc.

As a result

, the

museums

will be on the verge of extinction.

However

,

money

collected from the

visitors

can be utilised to maintain and develop the

museum

.

For instance

, it can be used to cover the utility bills, repairing

costs

, renovation and staff

costs

. Maintaining a large

museum

costs

a huge amount of

money

and the revenue earned from the

visitors

could be a good source of

money

to do that. Not all

museums

are funded by the government and sometimes

museums

' fund is not enough to cover all the

costs

it requires. If no

money

is taken from

visitors

,

such

museums

would have to be shut down. So, the admission

fee

in

museums

seems very utilitarian to maintain a better

museum

. To sum up, making all

museums

accessible without the entrance

fee

would encourage more people to appreciate and visit, but it won’t be operated and developed effectively.

Thus

, posing a nominal entrance

fee

can be verily advantageous in several ways for the

museum

.
