Many museums charge for admission while others are free. Do you think the advantages of charging people for admission to museums outweigh the disadvantages? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
Many
museums
charge
entrance
fees to the public, while
others are completely free. Many individuals think that visiting museums
is supposed to be free. In my opinion, however
, I believe there are more benefits for museums
to charge
for admission.
Served as public spaces, museums
have their own special significance to people
, and there are some advantages to opening for free. For example
, people
with lower incomes can visit museums
even if they don't have enough money. The cultural gap between rich and poor can therefore
be narrowed. It will also
encourage more residents to visit museums
and experience their cultural heritage, thus
improving local people
's sense of belonging. Moreover
, more tourists from other countries will visit museums
if the places are available for free. It can stimulate the cultural interactions between different nations.
Acknowledging free opening does have some benefits, but there are more advantages for museums
to charge
for admission. Firstly
, the entrance
fee can be a steady source of income and thus
museums
can offer better quality of content. Secondly
, governments can utilize more advanced techniques to preserve things displayed in museums
because using these techniques usually requires lots of money. As a result
, the antiquities can be well-protected without imposing high taxes on local people
. Finally
, it can effectively deter thefts, with the thieves more likely to be discouraged by the rise of the entrance
threshold.
In conclusion, I can understand why some people
think that museums
should be opened for free, but it seems more beneficial to me that museums
should charge
some reasonable entrance
fee.Submitted by arthur752102 on
