1.The Universal Access Scheme which granted free access to all Government Sponsored Museums, Art Galleries and some places of national interest in the UK began in December 2001.  This was known as a DCMS Scheme since the Government department responsible for these places is currently called the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS). Research claims that free entry to these places are key motivators for tourists visiting the UK. By removing entrance fees to these places, everyone, including tourists has free access to a type of Education which only the Arts and a dialogue about living history can bring. 2.Culture and the Artistic endeavor has long been a bone of contention in the UK because it is difficult for any progressive capitalist Government to see how the Arts, including a celebration of history could generate an income which could be sustainable, stable and contributory to the economy. As a result, funding for artistic projects and endeavors is often cut when money needs to be saved. Yet there is a beauty in our history, not because it is history itself but because of it’s endurance and stamina which in part at least has been preserved through our museums, Art galleries and ongoing projects. It is this historical archive which our Government has made available to  millions by removing entrance fees.
