Are you interested in visiting museums? I like museums and I'm learning about it to get a qualification of curator. I have to visit museums as often as I can, but I have a problem. Japanese museums cost too much. The entrance fee of one adult is about 1,000 yen!! Though I find many attractive advertisment of museums, I can't go because of the price : (
Do you know there are so many museums that do not charge for admission in other countries? I was surprised when I visit the British Museum last year. It was too large to see whole areas. I could see the Book of the Dead, sphinx and moai. There are also many historical scalpturs, but visiters don't have to pay any money!
I know that they are confronting many hardships of management, but I hope Japanese museums lower the fare. I want more and more people to visit museums : ) Bye!
In think the case of the British Museum is unusual because it is government owned and taxpayers pay for it. The same thing goes for the Smithsonian museum in Washington D.C. Museums in Canada have high admission fees too. Check the Art Gallery of Ontario, for example. It is expensive!
ReplyDeleteHowever, I agree that museums everywhere should charge less for university students. It is important for young people to have better access to great works of art.
