      Everyone should pay. Them being free is only a privilege for those within walking distance.

      If they’re free and struggling, that means we’re underfunding them, there’s no other reason.

      But yeah, we should be making tourists pay.

      No, as that quickly becomes charge everyone followed by yearly rate increases

      Tourists should be charged on a daily rate for every visit to Scotland, I know that. And people from Edinburgh going to any other part of Scotland should pay twice that too.

      My only worry is that if we start charging the gov just cuts the subsidy so they’re still poor… but we are paying

      Not the British Museum because a lot of the contents are from overseas. Free accessibility for all seems like a fair condition of hanging onto them.

      Hagia Sofia is around £30 and still packed. make it at least £5

      Can be free for kids or concessions etc.

      Foreigners yes, people from other parts of the UK, no. I deeply dislike the idea of charging British people to visit state subsidised museums and other activities because they happen to not live in certain postcodes.

      Museums should be free for everyone and only special exhibits should be paid.

      Everywhere you go across Europe you have to pay to go in, it doesn’t deter tourists if the price is reasonable.

      We could start with making the old money aristrocats that filled them with their collections pay for em.

      I’m in Thailand at the moment and most of the attractions are free for Thai nationals and foreigners have to pay.  Seems the fairest way to do it. 

    14. MiniRollsYum on

      Yes. Say £10 per person would be a start. Free to UK citizens.

      The question should be why shouldn’t we be charging tourists.

      To be honest they’re way too busy.

    16. UJ_Reddit on

      Yes, if the funds are managed, and not just to pay some CEO or board

      Controversial opinion but a lot of museums would be better experiences if there was even a small fee. Whenever I’ve been in the Tate modern it’s clear that it was somewhat used as dumping ground to put tourists/students who were only there because it was free. More popular than any piece of art were the stairs where people could sit down and look at their phones.

      There is some psychological value in having no extra marginal cost to visiting a museum, so it would be nice if the tickets allowed re-entry within a certain time period, say for 3 months. This would naturally bias towards people who live and work near the museums.

      Tourists should pay. Every other country did this. Went to Turkey (other countries do this too including the US for national parks) , and the prices set for tourists vs locals vs eye watering.

      Definitely start charging tourists to see there acquisitions antiquities from there countries (finders keepers)

    20. Aeceus on

      UK museums should be free for citizens, maybe a smaller charge for tourists.

    21. Odd-Pineapple-8932 on

      Other countries make tourists pay and keep things cheap or free for locals.

      If someone can afford the price of the trek, they can afford the price of the leisure.
