博物馆是否应免费开放_英语作⽂
There is no such thing as a free lunch
Nowadays, an increasing number of museums are admission-free to visitors. It provides a fair access for people, both rich and poor, old and young, posh and chav, to fully enjoy what museums can offer to them. But, I'm in favor of the opinion that advantages of charging for admission to museum outweigh the disadvantages.
It is universally acknowledged that museums are public places showing precious cultural relics. One of the most important functions of museums is education, which needs a peaceful environment rather than noisy crowd. If people are allowed to visit free of charge, there will be more visitors and the museum even will be overflowing with folks. People who really want to appreciate cultural relics can't think and research with so much noise in crowds of people. What's more, we can easily see that countless uncivilized behaviors exist in free-admission museums, such as spitting, talking loudly, littering, saying nasty words.
Additionally, free admission to museums might contribute to some unnecessary problems. For example, on the first day of Fujian Museum's free opening, crowded visitors damaged the museum's door and led to the damage of some communal facilities. Moreover, some visitors' uncivilized behavior caused damage to valuable treasures which used to be well-preserved in the museum. These conscious or unconscious behaviors brought economic losses. More seriously, free access to museums may give people a false impression that "cultural relics" are connected to "free", which is not conductive to cultural development.
Free-admission measures with a large increase in the flow of visitors may give museums a very heavy managerial burden. And that museums no longer rely on ticket profit and just rely on state subsidies will lead to staff's lack of enthusiasm for work and poor quality sevices. On the other hand, that funds needed are provided by the government might make the museum lack of autonomy and hinder the sustainable development of museums.
Free admission to museums is not a simple thing to accomplish, as there are a tremendous number of potential troubles. I hold the view that advantages of charging for admission to museum outweigh the disadvantages, unless some effective measures are taken to solve the problems.。
