Many museums charge for admission while others are free. Do you think the advantages of charging people for admission to museums outweigh the disadvantages?
Since education was popularized,
museums
were not only for the royals but also
opened to the public to enjoy precious works in there together. However
, there is a controversial discussion about whether charge
people
for admission to museums
. I firmly believe user charge
is a good idea and I will discuss its advantages and disadvantages in this
essay.
Firstly
, museums
can have more funds to maintain their quality such
as by hiring more tour guides and guards. By having tour guides, people
can easily understand the stories behind these collections instead
of just walking through them which would waste the main function of these institutions. Secondly
, if institutions charge
an extra fee to visitors, it may lead to less tax on people
which could help the poor relieve pressure on money. In this
case, the concept of user charge
is not just beneficial to the business but also
for the true equality of the society.
Although
its merits are considerable, it is hard to overlook the disadvantages of charging people
the extra fee for exhibitions. Some people
have no ability to pay the money and therefore
the knowledge of museums
cannot be popularized. Furthermore
, if galleries have to maintain their operation by charging the public, they would pay more attention to the marketing instead
of the quality of display artworks. The modern museum, for example
, only exhibited artworks from those artists who are famous on social media which may have less educational meaning.
To conclude, although
opening freely can spread education among society, it is hard for museums
to have extra money to enhance their quality. In this
case, apart from receiving funds from governments, they can also
charge
a small price for admissions to visitors.Submitted by peggyw108dm on
