Sir Mark Jones, the former director of the British Museum and V&A, has said the UK’s biggest museums should introduce an entrance for overseas visitors.
According to Jones, a £20 entry fee to foreign visitors over the age of 25 to Britain’s biggest institutions would raise significant revenue, reduce queues and support restoration projects.
“The British put a very high value on free entry to museums — that is our tradition,” he told The Times. “People who support museums as taxpayers shouldn’t also have to pay to visit them.”
Jones added that it would “make sense” to charge admission to overseas visitors at some of the UK’s biggest tourist attractions as “they charge us”.
