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

It has been debatable whether

museums

charge for admission or others is free for it. Despite charging for entry

fees

having some drawbacks, I think that the advantages do overweight the disadvantages because they wouldn’t be able to protect their ancestral possessions without it.

First

and foremost, one of the drawbacks of charging for entering

museums

is that ticket

money

for entrance discourages some persons especially for students and low-income families who are unable to afford the

fees

although

they would try to visit it.

For example

, as for some students who need to make

money

for their education and they are unable to spend their

money

for other expenditures like going to the cinema or

museum

.

Therefore

, entry

fees

should be free for students like the library so that they can access to get into the

museum

whenever they want to visit.

However

, there are some benefits for

museums

by asking for payment for admissions.

Firstly

,

money

collected from the visitors can be utilised to develop the

museum

.

For instance

, it can be used to cover the utility bills, repairing costs, renovation and staff costs.

Secondly

, it can be used for the well-maintenance of the

museums

. 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. If everyone can access free

museums

, there will not be a budget to allocate for the improvement and maintenance of the

museums

and it will be shut down in the future. To sum up, demanding

money

for entering

museums

as admissions

fees

has some adverse effects but I do believe that there are many positive effects and the advantages do overweight than disadvantages.
