Many museum charge admission fees while others are free. Do the advantages of charging people to visit a museum outweigh the disadvantages?

A visit to a

museum

is undoubtedly one of the interesting ways to delve into and discover history.

Although

charging

fees

at a

museum

is common nowadays, it is not always popular. In

this

essay, I will discuss the advantages and drawbacks of charging

such

a fee and explain why it is necessary. There are significant benefits to charging a fee from

visitors

.

Firstly

, the aim of the

museum

is to represent the culture, heritage, artefacts and so on. While those items are expensive, taking care of them requires expertise hand. A significant proportion of money came from the

visitors

who purchase a ticket. By paying for tickets,

visitors

not only help the institutions to maintain the items but

also

allow them to decorate the

museums

more gorgeously and collect more artefacts from several countries.

Lastly

, many

museums

don't have stable financial support. In the UK,

for instance

, governments change their policy, and as a ,result their funding is slashed recently. Without admission

fees

, many

museums

would not be able to survive.

On the other hand

, charging admission

fees

may have negative effects. From the visitor's perspective, these changes may deter them from visiting in the

first

place. If

fees

were $20 families, low-income earners and especially students may not able to afford it. In terms of the

museum

itself, a drop in the number of

visitors

could affect their ability to pay their employees, even at the risk of closure. While

such

concerns are valid, most of them keep their price low or offer some discount to prevent these scenarios. In conclusion,

museums

play an important role in communities, which is why it is necessary to keep them operating. While admissions may deter some

visitors

, the benefits of

such

a cost, provided it is reasonable, outweigh

this

concern.
