Museums should require regular visitors to pay a fee,butprovide free tickets as prizes for high-achieving students who can appreciate them moreFred Smith(New Zealand)-Age 14Museums teach people about their past.This is part of our shared culture that should be available toeveryone,rich or poor People should never be asked to pay an entrance fee.Rob Sanchez(Australia)-Age 17There are no simple
