Who should fund the operation of museum? The cost of sustaining museums is rising constantly. But we cannot close those museums easily, because they possess particular significance to the culture ascription of citizens. I personally think we should combine the power of governments companies and individuals to solve the fund problem of museum. For governments, they have the media resource and the opportunities of international dissemination. So, they are able to promote those museums to more tourists and even attract some foreign tourists to the museums. For example, they can make documentaries to introduce the collections of museums. And they can organize some art activities at museums to improve their fame. Therefore, governments can utilize their influence to improve the visit of museums. For companies, they can also combine their feature with the improvement of museums. For instance, they can print the objects of museum to their products, selling them as souvenirs at museums. Combining the exhibits of museum with their products is a good cooperation. Generally, visitor may want to bring back something representing this particular experience, so there are potential market and customer at museum, while the museums cannot manufacture commodities as eligible as companies. Therefore, this collaboration benefit both sides, corporations can earn profit by souvenirs and museum can gain financial support from them. For individuals, we can establish some charity organizations to raise donations for museums. We can promote the importance and function of museums to the public. Exhibition is not the only function of museums; it can also preserve and maintain some historical objects as well as fragile artworks. The workers of museum protect those objects from the erosion of time day by day. Without them, our descendants are only able to learn history and art from videos and images, Therefore, we can appeal the publics to support museums by this causes.

Who should fund the operation of a museum?

The cost of sustaining museums is rising constantly, but simply closing museums is not a solution either, because they possess particular significance to people's cultural worldview. I believe we should combine the power of governments, companies, and private individuals to solve the funding problems of museums.

Governments have the resource of the media and opportunities of international outreach. So they are able to promote museums to more tourists and attract more foreign visitors. For example, governments can produce documentaries to explain the collections of museums and can organize art activities at museums to make them more well-known.

Companies can help improve museums. For example, they can create products from items in a museum and sell them as souvenirs. This is a good cooperation since generally, visitors may want to bring back something representing their particular experience. There is a market of customers at museums and museums are not able to manufacture these products themselves. This collaboration benefits both sides: corporations can earn profit through souvenir products and museum can gain another source of financial support.

Private individuals can establish charity organizations to raise donations for museums. They can promote the importance and function of museums to the public. Exhibition is not the only function of museums — they also preserve and maintain historical objects and fragile artwork. The workers of a museum protect these objects from the damage over time. Without them, future generations are only able to learn history and art from videos and images. Therefore, appealing directly to the public to support museums can help create a better environment for everyone.
