Should Museum
Entry Be Free
With
International Museum Day coming up, today we are asking readers: Should
museums be free or should people have to pay for a ticket? Let us know your
view.
Comments
Museums are
not only there for enjoyment; they are education. This is why they must be
free. While museums need a huge amount of money to operate, let the wealthy
pay for it. The idea of a person or child interested in art not being able to
view it because of cost is wrong
Krista Chen(US)-Age 15
Free entry does
not attract people or encourage them to appreciate art. Generally people
respect things that are difficult or costly to get Museums should require
regular visitors to pay a fee, but provide free tickets as prizes for
high-achieving students who can appreciate them more
Fred
Smith(New Zealand)-Age 14
Museums teach
people about their past. This is part of our shared culture that should be
available to everyone, rich or poor People should never be asked to pay an
entrance fee.

There are no
simple answers. Low ticket prices could help museums stay open. But companies
and businessmen should also provide museums with more money and other
support. They have a social responsibility too.

I think
museums and art galleries should all be free to the public. I do, however, think
twice a year the museums should organize money-raising events to help pay for
the cost of staying open.
