大英博物館などの海外客有料化を検討　英政府、財源確保のため　3000～4000円ほどか【知っておきたい！】【グッド！モーニング】(2026年3月31日)

Permanent exhibitions at British national museums and art galleries, such as the British Museum in London, are generally free for all visitors. However, it has been revealed that the British government is considering charging an entrance fee to foreign tourists in order to secure funding for the arts. Japanese tourist: "There are so many exhibits that it's impossible to see them all, so I can split it up and visit different sections each day. I really hope it remains free." British boy: "If people from overseas can't afford to go to museums, they won't have the opportunity to see the kind of things we do. I think everyone should have the same chance to see them." Foreign visitors account for over 40% of the total visitors to the 15 national museums and art galleries, including the British Museum. Local media reports suggest the entrance fee could be around 3,000 to 4,000 yen. The British government plans to announce its decision by the end of the year. Some experts argue that the government should maintain free admission by utilizing a tourist tax. (From the broadcast on March 31, 2026) [TV Asahi NEWS] https://news.tv-asahi.co.jp
