Many people assume that museums charge admission just to make a greater profit. The truth, however, is that many museums are actually underfunded. They do not receive enough money from government

organizations or private donations alone.Therefore, charging admission fees is sometimes necessary just to keep the museum afloat.
Employees must be paid, exhibits must be preserved, and the museums themselves must be maintained.
Ileen Gallagher, a Museum Studies
professor at New York University, offered her support for the policy change. According to Gallagher,
"Government subsidies in this country do not provide adequate funding for institutions to maintain services and high-quality exhibitions." Daniel Weiss, the president and CEO of the Met, noted that the extra revenue from charging admission will help create several hundred jobs as well as allow for major exhibitions. If people want their favorite museums to remain fully staffed, fully stocked with artifacts, and well maintained, a reasonable admission fee is often part of that cost.

Select the evidence that the author provides for the following supporting claim: museums must often charge admission in order to operate.

A. Museum admission fees often help pay for employees' salaries.

B. Many people believe that admission fees are created to help increase profits.

C. Admission fees bring in more money to museums than donations.
