    Should Museum Entry Be Free

    With International Museum Day coming up, today we are asking readers: Should museums be free or should people have to pay for a ticket? Let us know your view.

    Comments

    Museums are not only there for enjoyment; they are education. This is why they must be free. While museums need a huge amount of money to operate, let the wealthy pay for it. The idea of a person or child interested in art not being able to view it because of cost is wrong

Krista Chen(US)-Age 15

    Free entry does not attract people or encourage them to appreciate art. Generally people respect things that are difficult or costly to get Museums should require regular visitors to pay a fee, but provide free tickets as prizes for high-achieving students who can appreciate them more

    Fred Smith(New Zealand)-Age 14

    Museums teach people about their past. This is part of our shared culture that should be available to everyone, rich or poor People should never be asked to pay an entrance fee.

    Rob Sanchez (Australia)-Age 17

    There are no simple answers. Low ticket prices could help museums stay open. But companies and businessmen should also provide museums with more money and other support. They have a social responsibility too.

    Amber White (UK)-Age 16

    I think museums and art galleries should all be free to the public. I do, however, think twice a year the museums should organize money-raising events to help pay for the cost of staying open.

Fun and Fitness on Bikes

A cyclist dresses up during a 16-kilometer bike ride in Moscow during the spring 2023 Velofest. Velofest is a big cycling activity in Russia. The activity was a celebration in support of bike culture and healthy lifestyles. A number of people took part and many dressed up. It meant that they want an active lifestyle and eco-friendly way of traveling. 

A City for Walking and Cycling

The city of Pontevedra in Spain is great for walking and cycling. People can't drive in the city center. They make 73 percent of journeys in the city on foot or by bike. Only 30 percent of the public space is for cars. Seventy percent is for people. From 2001 to now, there are no deadly road accidents, and the CO2 level went down by 67 percent since the 1990s. 

Travel Squad

Recently, "travel squad" becomes a popular trip style in China. It means travel like a soldier. It's different from the relaxing kind of traveling that we all know. Visitors often go to a lot of places in a short period of time at a low cost, usually on weekends. Most of them are college students. "Such a trip can bring a different color to my stressful life, "said Chen, a 24-year-old university student. "Because it is very energy-consuming ( (耗体力), it is not suitable for everyone", she added.
