Often high quality in combination with a low price is a basic requirement for people to visit a museum, he continued, adding that in order to provide the highest quality and generate sufficient revenue to cover costs, it is crucial to increase visitor numbers.
Currently there are too many museums across the country that are failing to attract sufficient numbers of visitors needed and they will not financially survive if a satisfactory remedy isn’t found.
He pointed out that the notable exceptions are the Ho Chi Minh Museum, Vietnamese Women’s Museum, the National Museum of History and Vietnam Museum of Ethnology, which are strong in both areas.
The seminar attracted representatives from 17 museums and management boards of relics and cultural sites to discuss best practices to boost visitor numbers to museums across the country in the coming time.
