The Vagina Museum does not charge admission. As museums, we are presented with the choice between ensuring there are no financial barriers between a visitor and our exhibitions, and generating more income. We choose the former.
It's a difficult choice to make: we're not receiving big money from anywhere else. We're certainly not receiving government funding like the museums featured in that article. But we know that an admission fee would be much like locking our doors to many people who want to visit.
In a world of misinformation, taboos and stigma, it's vital that we keep the Vagina Museum an accessible space to visit. We shouldn't - and mustn't! - be a luxury only available to those who can pay to visit.
All of our exhibitions across our three galleries are free to enter because learning and the arts isn't a privilege, it's something anyone should be able to access. The Vagina Museum is almost entirely funded by people donating what they can, or choosing to buy something in our gift shop. If you agree that museums should be free, any contribution truly makes a huge difference in tough times for funding in the sector https://www.vaginamuseum.co.uk/donate
@vagina_museum Museums could, it’s called kick f*king conservatives out of office and restore a kind, more moral and ethical society, as well as a financially stable one.
