Free Museums6/20/2018 When my co-worker first told me about this, I almost didn't believe him. Turns out that many museums in London had no entry fee, merely asked for an optional donation. These weren't your plain old museums either; rather big names like the British Museum, the National Gallery and (my personal favorite) the Victoria and Albert Museums. Only a very few select museums charged an entry fee but almost every other museum did not charge visitors. Upon visiting some of them, I discovered that these museums were in fact funded by national lotteries and the income garnered from that. This hit me as an incredible way of immersing society in culture, art and history, fields that we are losing as humans drift toward a science dependent future. I've been spending many a Sunday afternoon abusing this, roaming the marble floors of museums and learning something new during every visit.
