Regatul Unit nu va mai impune o taxă de intrare în muzee pentru vizitatorii străini

The UK government confirmed that national museums will remain free for foreign visitors, reversing a previous proposal to introduce entry fees. Since 2001, entry to permanent collections at institutions like the British Museum has been free, attracting millions of tourists annually. Visitors only pay for temporary exhibitions. The government had considered fees to enhance funding but decided against it, noting that the impact would not be uniform across the sector. National museums contribute over £1 billion to the UK economy, with foreign visitors making up 43% of total attendance. In contrast, France has increased entry fees for non-EU tourists at major cultural sites.
