Emmanuel Macron has a point: Why should we claim tourists to see our treasures? | Catherine Bennett

INTroducing, five years later, another Brexit bonus: A chance to support the renovation of the rubles. President Emmanuel Macron has proposed to pay the Renaissance at the Paris Museum. This proposes a part by increasing the admission fee of visitors other than the EU.

After the first attempt to express this as a direct IN humiliation, “British people have to pay more than the EU inhabitants” (email) -Mastrously even the media of Pro Blregjit, the scheme is global. It looks like it has accepted all the non -infrequent applications EU visitors: Even French people are very Unning Brit Targets.

If anything, this opportunity to pay more is to be proud of their own Brexit victory. A cultural dividend that destroys the loss of the Erasmus scheme and the prospects of British musicians. Fortunately, for these pureists, the current Prime Minister seems to be hooked on creating a potentially and potentially and even -number and heritage.

Macron’s idea was only expected by the British curator Mark Jones IR last summer. He suggested that London’s national collection would pay for improvement by introducing admission fees to overseas visitors 25 or older. After the British Museum missed thousands of theft from the collection, Jones became a provisional director (he became a museum chair, austerity lovers, and a financial company. 。 After that, Jones should maintain the admission permit to the Sunday Times, for British taxpayers, but overseas tourists from redevelopment and repair of museums to international partnerships, improvement of salary. He said that he could help everything, from occasionally reducing overcrowded. He suggested that other major museums and galleries should consider doing the same.

Since then, many of the lowest wages in London have been pushed into these very valuable spaces, and many of the trading workers have just traded. The impressive guards of the Natural History, Science Museum, and V & A are asking the general public to boycott the gallery in February. The voices of the world, the world’s union (UVW), are paying attention to the reports of the Visitors and the increase in profits. Apart from that, V & A’s TRISTRAM HUNT celebrated “successful economic interests in secondary expenditures.” It is useless for their security staff to earn 13.15 pounds per hour (London’s living wages 13.85 pounds).

Like the Louvre, the British Museum is leaking and leaking again, applying pressure to upgrade, and will cooperate more and more.

The British National Museum is unusual, as the British tourists know when you do not request entry. “It would make sense,” said Jones, “To claim overseas visitors to enter the museum to claim when we visit their museum.” 。 And even when the people and local residents are exempted, these museums are occasionally not accused of being a supporter of museum tourists, and without foreign disgust. Looking at Venice’s elderly residents from VaporeTti, Rucksacks, Wherie cases, and secret, the two -layer approaches seem to be provided by compensation. The Metropolitan Museum in New York is, as well, is allowed to be exempted by residents in the state.

Denying that the generous capital will enter free of charge is not equivalent to the lawsuit against the British more kind entry principle, and sometimes advertisements at our NHS levels of the people’s pride and Keety IETY. It is done. To add a debate that free entry has progressed universally in 2000, the supporters are probably for visitors from a country where colonized British people have reassured the future exhibition almost cruelly. Persuish the welcome and welcome that is welcomed by the universal museum. Following Jones’s intervention, Professor David Abrafia asserted the audience’s entrance fee: This means that all the people of the world should be able to enter and see what they contain in these museums. “

However, the same debate (assuming that overseas tourists who have already covered the cost to get there are overlooked), usually extracted payments from everyone. This applies to museums, galleries and churches. A contested historical asset. For example, a wonderful house packed with evidence of a colonial trophy and evidence of domestic exploitation, for example, the trust of the people persuades people who pay to enjoy the site of the ancestors of the ancestors of the old laundry and frozen roots. I did.

Like the Louvre, the British Museum is leaking, leaking again, applying pressure to upgrade and increasingly cooperating. Where does the resource come from? That is, if there is no future for my own proposal. It is a £ 50 permit in a mobile phone/clock photo in the gallery. It simply makes the beliefs of different millions of different beliefs connected by one belief. There is no universal treasure that cannot be improved, including visitors, even if you plant your face in front.

So what if you are not a macronchem, if the state investment is insufficient? At the same time, compensation and fair salary supporters have demanded action from a universal collection, and other activists are campaigns to fossil fuels, such as BP trading with the British Museum, to corporate funds. I tried to rely on it. The Science Museum is attacked for a contract with ADANI GREEN Energy, part of the conglomerate investing in coal.

This does not eliminate contributions from unpopular sponsors. From May, the entire permanent collection of the National Gallery is called “CC Land: The Wonder of Art”. Even when Napoleon was renamed the Louvre Museum, he neglected to add a phrase to appeal to all future communication. “‘CC Land: The Wonder of Art’ gives you the opportunity to discover works you have never seen.”

CC Land: The Wonder of Art! If you were not, I would have never concluded that if it was not ideal to claim tourists for entry, the current alternative would look very bad.
