It is increasingly expensive to keep museums open to public. What do you think is the best way to fund them? (the government, businesses or individuals?)

In recent years, museums have become increasingly important in

the citizens’ culture lives

all around the world.

However

, the cost of running them for the public is actually exorbitant.

This

essay will demonstrate that governments have more advantages in terms of funding museums than businesses and individuals.

To begin

with, it is true that the authorities have the ability to subsidize the large museums and help them to lower their expenditure spent opening for the public. Actually, governments possess plenty of revenues by taxing their citizens, so they can

budget

a lot of money to pay the staff of museums and cut back on the entry fees, which make the museums more accessible to both tourists and local residents.

For instance

, the Folk Museum of Yanbian Korea Minority, in Yanji city, is a successful case. It has been a famous

destination because of the subsidy from the local council, and it has no

the large museums.

Nevertheless

this

gives the authorities a heavy burden.

Therefore

, governments can

make the most of their higher prestige than entrepreneurs and celebrities to launch online donations or volunteering project, raising the folk fundings or recruiting some volunteers for

such

as art galleries. These auxiliary measures not only contribute to cutbacks of galleries’ running

costs

but

also

relieve the extra

burden of the authorities.

Finally

,

although

corporations and individuals cannot sponsor museums with huge money, there are some efforts they are able to make.

For example

, companies can rent a spare space of certain gallery to promote their offerings related to arts like some new books or luxury bags.

Besides

, an artist could choose a gallery as the venue to hold his or her own exhibition there.

Consequently

, theses efforts are likely to absorb many visitors of galleries and in return augment their revenue. In conclusion, governments have the obligation to help museums to address their

budget

deficits and maintain them to open for the public.

However

, businesses and individuals can

also

make efforts to relieve governments’ burdens of funding museums and galleries.
