Letter: Museum charges
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: Dr Alan Borg is scarcely in a position to complain about extra state funding for the British Museum (report, 3 December). In the past, the director of the Victoria and Albert Museum has taken an unapologetically elitist position, even indicating at one point that he had no objection to a pounds 10 entry fee since what mattered was the quality, not the quantity, of visitors - which rather implies that he sees quality of mind as something which rises in direct proportion to a bank balance.
