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

Nowadays, there are only a few
people
going to
museums
. Some
museums
charge
for entrance, but some
museums
are free.
This
may lead to the negative effect that
people
will go to
museums
less. Personally, there are more positive effects if
museums
do not
charge
for
admission
. To start with, the museum’s
admission
fee may discourage
people
from going to the museum.
People
have to pay for the tickets for the entrance.
This
limits the opportunities for poor
people
who might not have the chance to study history, science or art to access ancient artefacts or exhibitions.
Therefore
,
instead
of charging for
admission
, it would be better if
museums
let
people
go inside for free. They may feel more generous to donate voluntarily to
museums
. It will be a win-win.
Next,
many
museums
are located in highly competitive areas. There are many places that
people
are interested in more than
museums
. If
museums
charge
for
admission
, there must be fewer
people
going to
museums
.
This
means that the
museums
will generate less money which comes from the facilities inside
such
as cafes.
Therefore
, the museum
admission
fee should be free because
people
will go to
museums
and use their money for necessary things
such
as food and drink.
Finally
,
museums
will generate more revenue from their service.
To conclude
, there are more negative effects if
museums
charge
for
admission
.
People
may feel discouraged that
museums
are not free even if they go there for study materials.
Therefore
, the advantages of charging for
admission
do not outweigh the disadvantages.
