Some say that museums must be cost-free, while others say museums require museum cards. Give your own opinion from your previous experience and knowledge.

Museums

are places where a nation’s history lives. People who

visit

any city want to testify about the history of a country and obtain information about it. Many

museums

charge for

admission

, while others are free. There are some advantages and disadvantages of

this

situation. The

first

advantage of

museums

charging for

admission

is their contribution to the national economy. International cities

such

as Istanbul, London and Paris host thousands of tourists annually. Undoubtedly,

museums

in these cities are the most visited places and request an insignificant amount of

money

. These fees, which appear to be small on an individual basis, reach large sums when thousands or even millions of tourists are taken into account. Another advantage is some opportunities brought with it. Some

museums

offer cards that allow guests to enter

museums

. These cards provide access to the

museum

where the card was received and many contracted

museums

.

This

advantage encourages card owners to

visit

many other

museums

.

This

statement is

also

true from another point of view: Something paid for is valued more. If something is free, it is used more carelessly because

money

resulting from a particular effort is not given in return.

On the contrary

, you will be more cautious in your actions if you pay for something or get a

money

service. So if you

visit

a

museum

for

admission

, you will pay more attention to the historical artefacts there. The

first

disadvantage of

museums

charging for

admission

is that those with insufficient financial means are prevented from visiting

museums

. It decreases the number of guests coming to

museums

. Another disadvantage is the

admission

fee. If these amounts are more than necessary, visitors who set some spending limits may skip the

museum

visit

. All in all, I find it quite natural for

museums

to charge for

admission

. The advantages,

such

as the value of the service received for

money

and the income from

museum

visits, outweigh the disadvantages.
