Recently,our class has had a debate about whether museums should open to the public free of charge. What I have found out is that opinions vary from person to person .
Some students believe that museums should be free to the public as they are important places for both education and entertainment. They say that free museum entrance will attract more visitors, which will no doubt contribute to promoting knowledge and culture. The more museums open their doors to the public for free of charge, the more people they will benefit from seeing the cultural heritages. Therefore, it is good for people to improve their awareness about culture heritage protection.
However, some hold the opinion that museums should not be free as many tourists might influence the visiting, so it will be hard to keep the museums functioning well and more difficult to protect the exhibits.
As I believed, museums should only be free for certain special groups, such as students, soldiers and the disabled. Besides, the times that entrance is provided free for the groups should be strictly regulated. Only in this way can the museum be well-organised.
