Entry to art galleries and museums should be free.Do you agree or disagree?

Art
galleries
and
museums
are more and more popular all over the world. Some people may think that the entrance
fee
to
art
galleries
and
museums
should be free,
while
I think that some of us should still pay the entry ticket in order to preserve these places. On one hand, people think that
art
galleries
and
museums
are related to one
country
's culture, heritage and history. The public is able to learn more about their
country
from visiting these places, and
hence
increase their sense of belonging to the community and
country
.
Therefore
, the
government
should pay for the entrance
fee
and allow citizens with different social backgrounds and statuses including the grassroots are able to have a chance to visit them.
On the other hand
, as
art
galleries
and
museums
represent one
country
's culture, they could become tourists' talking points and attraction sites, and
hence
they could serve as important financial support to the
government
. The
government
has many other issues to deal with,
such
as medical issues, educational issues and security problems,which all need a high financial budget, in order to maintain the
country
running smoothly.Compared with the above issue which are the basic needs of humans,
Art
is luxury. As a large percentage of the
government
budget is allocated to other aspects, the
government
may not handle the high maintenance
fee
of the
museums
and
galleries
without any financial support from the tourists, in turn, more and more
art
galleries
and
museums
would be demolished in long term. In conclusion,
although
art
galleries
and
museums
represent the
country
's culture and history and all the citizens should have the right to visit them, I still disagree that entry to
art
galleries
and
museums
should be free for all people, indeed, I think all least tourists should pay for the entrance
fee
in order to support the high maintenance
fee
of these attraction sites.
