Free Museum Admission Fails To Attract Low-Income Visitors

A report says that free admission to British museums has resulted in hordes of new visitors, but that the policy had failed to attract lower-income visitors. “Its figures show the Natural History Museum in London attracted 72% more visitors last year compared with 2001, the Science Museum had 101.4% more visitors and the Victoria & Albert Museum had 111% more. However, numbers visiting the British Museum fell 4.14% last year.”
