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 (评论)

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 (运转)，let the wealthy pay for it. The idea of a person or child interested in art not being able to view (看)it because of cost is wrong.

cost is wrong

Krista Chen(US)- Age 15

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 (入场费)

Rob Sanchez (Australia)- age 17

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

Amber White (UK) –Age 16

I think museums should 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 keeping open.
