Anna B Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 The Bradford Museum of Film and Media, The Manchester Museum of Science and Technology, and the York Railway Museum are under threat of closure. Because of Government cuts, one has to go. I've been to them all, and they are all great. None of them should have to close of couse, but if one has to, which one should it be? And what could be done to keep them all open? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swfcsy Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 The Bradford museum of film and media I'd say out of the three options No reason really I just think the other two are of more interest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vinyl Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 If these sorts of choices have got to be made then lets start by making these cuts down in London. The museums in London are pretty much self financing. They have donations boxes on entry and most visitors going in stick a fiver in the slot. In Bradford they have the same but folk either stick in a foreign coin or take something out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFKvsNixon Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Charging for entry rather than giving it away free would be a good start in raising revenue. I also don't understand why we don't charge for entry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECCOnoob Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 If these sorts of choices have got to be made then lets start by making these cuts down in London. Why would they do that. London Museums are rammed with tourists day in day out. How many thousands a day come flocking to either of these three. That's the problem with most regional museums. Same for most regional art galleries, exhibition centres, theatres. They will never draw a crowd like the capital. Example: Millions were spent building the Millenium Gallery in Sheffield. How many of us actually say we look around on a regular basis.... Money well spent?? There is a big difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister M Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 As a temporary measure charging for entrance is preferable than them being closed down. I think libraries, museums, and galleries are a great civilising force in our society. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
