I saw a story in the newspaper today that the conservative party think we should start paying to go in state museums. That would mean that you would have to pay to go in the Pitt Rivers Museum and the Ashmolean for example. They say that the museums are finding it difficult to meet their costs and so should be allowed ro charge an entry fee. However, the article says that since these museums became free 6 years ago, attendance has incrased considerably, in some cases more than doubled. You can read the article on page 2 of The Independent, and maybe it's in the other newspapers too.
What do you think? Do you think it's better for some people to pay so that these museums can provide a better service? Or do you think they should be free for everyone? In some countries I know that big museums are free only on certain days, for example Sundays. What happens in your countries?
