Example 1
Nowadays, some museum
s
and art galleries charge 
an 
admission fee and this 
amount usually change
s
depending on the citizenship and residential city of the 
visitor. 
C
ulture should be free, 
so 
I agree that the advantages outweigh the 
drawbacks.
To begin with, fees are used to maintain and improve the art collections of the 
museum. For example, the MAMBO museum of Bologna uses the admission fees to 
maintain the permanent collection, train the museum guide and also change the 
temporary art collections every 6 months.
An important thing to be mentioned is that there are usually different fees for local 
and foreign visitors. In my opinion
,
this is very important because it encourages the 
local population 
to
undertak

cultural hobbies and learn about local artists. Although 
I agree with paying 
a 
fee to visit a museum, I also believe that the museum should 
ask visitors how much they are willing to pay, instead of using fixed fees. For 
instance, the natural museum of New York suggests a fee, but the visitors can decide 
how much they want to pay to visit the museum. This facilitates the numbers of 
students that can afford to visit different kind
s
of galleries and museums.
As I mentioned before, I believe that culture should be free of charge. The national 
and regional governments should support culture and invest to maintain museums 
and art galleries. The presence of admission fees make clear that the government and
