The crowds arriving this morning says it all. Albert and June Fleming from Nottingham are amongst 600, 000 extra visitors to the Natural History Museum since the government gave it the money to scrap its charges. The extra expense of admission to here would, you know, just break the camel' s back, the straw that broke the camel' s back. A 70 increase in visitors in one year it has to be a good thing. The museum though isn' t sure. Well, sometimes we get so many people in on a particular day that I worry they can' t enjoy themselves as much because they simply can' t move around the museum easily. Sometimes we find they stay for not very long, and I worry is, it' s because they' re not enjoying themselves very much. What' s more, coping with all these extra people is expensive. The museum says it could go back to making people pay. And then there are the thousands of other museums who still have to charge. The Ironbridge Gorge Museum in Telford, it, like many other attractions, has seen people switching to the free museums. We could not possibly support this operation, without our ticket income. I would regret also not seeing this as a commercial operation. I think it, it makes us sharp, it makes us tuned into the markets out there, and as I say, the result has been, I think, a very broadbased audience for what we do here. So while MP' s today said free admission had been largely a good thing, they added it couldn' t be done on the cheap. |
