You should spend about 40 minutes on this task. Some museums and art galleries charge admission fees, while others have free entry. Do you think the advantages of charging for admission outweigh the disadvantages? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

Today, around the world there are a plethora of

museums

and art

galleries

that are available for

people

. These

centres

are built by the government to protect the valuables of a country and exhibit the talents of

people

.

Hence

, to enter the buildings a certain amount is charged to

people

while there are

museums

and

galleries

which have free entry.

However

, the advantages of charging a

fee

outweigh the negatives and the following essay will elaborate

further

with examples. Commencing,

museums

and exhibition rooms are full of knowledge where one can extend the skills and facts about certain historical factors. Apart from that, there are other advantages of charging a

fee

while entering these constructions because if not charged the governments are unable to renovate, pay utility bills and provide wages to the cleaners as well as provide security and safety to the

people

who

visit

.

Moreover

, another plus point of charging is that authorities can invest money to build more

galleries

and able to generate revenues to keep the place clean and attractive which can

also

be a tourist destination. As an example, from my personal experience, there are

museums

I have visited which I paid entry free and the luxurious facilities they have is breathtaking compared to

museums

that are free.

Thus

, charging an amount from the

people

who

visit

brings great positive benefits to the authorities for the future development of art

centres

and

museums

. Despite the advantages, there are some disadvantages of charging a

fee

because

people

hesitate to

visit

these

centres

if they have to

visit

by paying a huge price.

On the other hand

, individuals are unable to gain knowledge and information regarding essential historical factors whenever they need. As an example, if a student is conducting historical research he or she needs to

visit

the

museums

quite often, and visiting numerous times will charge that student a huge amount. To conclude,

although

there are a few drawbacks to charging an admission

fee

to visitors the positives are greater which

this

that the money the

centres

earn benefits the

galleries

and

museums

in the future.
