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

There are numerous

museums

around the world some of them charge

entrance

fees but others don’t. In my opinion, I think the advantages of charging

admission

to

museums

outweigh the disadvantages because it can benefit both the visitors and the

museums

. On the one hand, charging

entrance

fees may reduce the number of

tourists

. Because there are a variety of

museums

in the same area so the visitors prefer to visit the

museum

which does not charge

admission

the

museums

which charge money for

entrance

will collapse because of lacking

tourists

.

On the other hand

, charging

entrance

fees can bring some benefits to audiences and

museums

.

Firstly

, the

entrance

fee can help the

museums

to renew some facilities, like toilets, and gift shops, which make the traveller more comfortable and more relaxed during visiting.

Secondly

, charging for

admission

also

can help the

museum

to hold a new

exhibition

or buy some new collections, which the

tourists

are interested in.

For example

, there is a portrait

exhibition

in Taiwan national

museum

this

month, which is very popular around the world.

Although

the

entrance

fee of the

exhibition

is expensive there are numerous people lining up to visit it every day. To summarize, though charging

admission

will decrease the number of

tourists

and cause some

museums

to collapse it helps the

museum

to renew the structure or facilities, which can bring better visiting experiences to the visitors and the

museum

can use the

entrance

fee as funds to hold a better

exhibition

which can attract lots of sightseers. In my opinion, I think the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
