whether or not it is better that

.There are several advantages and disadvantages concerning charging an
admission
fee
 which I will try to explain. In general, I believe that
museums
 and galleries should
charge
 a
fee
 to visitors but the amount should be arranged according to the person’s situation. What I mean is that there should be a standard
fee
 for regular persons as well as special reduced
fees
 for students, small children, disabled humans and/or other types of financially vulnerable
people
. The reason for a reduced
fee
 is that a maximum amount of
people
 are able to enjoy these cultural activities because everybody has the right to experience cultural enrichment. Now I will explain why I think charging an
admission
fee
 is that important. The main reason is that

 in the end nobody will be able to enjoy these cultural riches. The second reason is that if their funds will hopefully enlarge that it will give them the possibility to buy more
art
 or historical pieces for their gallery. That way they can keep expanding and will be able to safeguard our cultural inheritance. The main disadvantage, despite the existence of reduced
