The government spends about 220 million pounds a year supporting museums and art galleries in the UK, and a similar amount subsidising the visual and performing arts. This is a huge sum to spend on minority interests, and the money would be better spent on more important things. It should be up to people who enjoy cultural attractions to pay for them.

Some articles have reported that the UK government invests millions of dollars a year in museums and galleries, spending less money on visuals and performing arts. I agree that this is beneficial in some ways, I believe that money should be spent on essentials. Museum preserves history and it has educational values. They attract a large number of tourists from all over the world and bring currency to the UK. For example, The British museum in London attracted more than 6 millions tourists and museums and art galleries of UK collected about 1 billion USD in the year 2009 according to UK National Administration of Tourism. Some museums and galeries is the reasons why tourists feel UK a unique place. Besides, visiting to these places helps people not only heighten their beauty but also know about the history and formation of the British. The difficulties related to holding and visiting museums and galleries are increasing largely due to the lack of people. Moreover, the short of support in money and people is also barrier for their working.
