Dr. Mensah
Many museums charge admission fees, which help pay for staff, exhibitions, and the care of their collections. Others are free to the public and depend on government money or donations. Some people argue that all public museums should be free so that everyone can enjoy art and history. Do you think museums should be free for everyone? Why or why not?

Leila
Yes. Museums help people understand their history and culture, and that shouldn't depend on how much money you have. When I was a child, my family couldn't afford many trips, so free museums were really important to us.

Marco
I'm not so sure. Admission fees pay for new exhibitions and for experts who take care of the collections. If museums were free, they might have to cut these things. Museums could offer free days instead.
