Do you think people should have free access to their national heritage? Complete the text using the words and phrases given. pledges charges to secure medieval houses access contemporary connoisseur curators trustees to establish militate endorse acquisition The British Museum may have to introduce admission (1)……………… for its six million visitors a year because of reductions in its government grant. The museum - which (2) ………………… the Elgin marbles, a magnificent collection of Greco-Roman antiquities, Egyptian sculpture and (3)…………………… art - is one of the few great British institutions to have so far escaped financial purges. But a report, commissioned by Graham Green, chairman of the museum's (4)………………, suggests that entry charges should be introduced to make up for the shortfall created by a million pound cut in grant. This would fly in the face of (5)……………… made by Dr Robert Anderson, the museum's director that he would never ask visitors to pay. Dr Robert Anderson does not (6)……………… the introduction of admission charges. He compares museums to great reference libraries, surpassing by far subordinate roles such as that of tourist attraction, heritage experience or entertainment centre. Charging changes the relationship between the museum and its public, encouraging these latter roles over the former. Most of those in the museum world share the distaste. Charges, they say, change the ethos: they make the experience more commercial, (7)……………… against the brief visit, discourage repeat visits. As the National Art Collections Fund sees it, “a full day in a museum to “get your money's worth” is enough to kill off any desire to return — especially for children”. Sir Denis Mahon, leading British art (8)………………………… earlier this year withdrew a bequest from the Walker Gallery, Liverpool, when it announced charges: “As a collector with something to offer, I am much in favour of a genuine partnership between the private sector and the state, but find it deeply distasteful that the public should be held to ransom for (9)…………………to its own property ”. The directors of the leading British Museums share the claim that “free admission is the cornerstone of democratic access to our cultural inheritance”. They are convinced that there are useful tools both to keep museums free from admission charges and to provide (10)……………………… with sufficient means to run their art institution. Membership subscriptions and donations made through the British Museum Friends support the (11)…………………………… of important objects to complement the Museum’s complex and unique collection, as well as growing holdings of (12)…………………… objects held for the benefit of future generations. Members also contribute to the Museum’s active research programme, designed to deepen knowledge and promote understanding of the collection. Since its earliest days the Museum has relied on the generosity of donors and supporters – a public lottery was held (13) …………………… the £20,000 needed to purchase Hans Sloane’s initial collection for the nation. Charles M. Weisenberg, former public relation director of the Los Angeles Public Library claims that museum admission fees are clearly most hurtful to those least able to afford them. “Think of how the public and the politicians would explode if just the downtown public library were (14)…………………… an admission fee. It is about time we made visiting an art museum as easy as visiting a library. 7 Sum up the problem British museums face and the attitude of the involved people to the problem (up to 150 words). 8 Speaking Points Speaking Point is the format of expressing a personal opinion in which a speaker takes his stance on a topic providing arguments for and/or against. Look at Appendix 1 and study Speaking Point Strategy. Speak for 2 minutes on one of the following Speaking Points. Involvement in art helps people develop their personality. Schools have responsibility for making students aware of their historic and cultural heritage. Entry charges won't keep people out of our museums. Such factors as the theme of the exhibition, location, etc. can encourage people to visit museums frequently and secure repeat visits. The cultural strategy of a government shapes a nation’s mind. Museums are supposed to vary their practices in getting people interested in visiting them. Interactive technologies in museums: digital installations and media are enhancing the visitors' experience. The educational function of art institutions should be given priority over the entertainment. HOME ASSIGNMENT – Unit 1(2) Study Vocabulary 1(2) and translate the examples into Russian.
