　　In the United States, certain groups who formerly were too poor to care about anything beyond the basic needs of daily life are now becoming curious about the world around them. 76)The young people in these groups, like young people generally, have benefited from a better education than their parents received. All these groups, and the rest of the population as well, have been influenced by television, which has taught them about other places and other times.

　　77)The effect of all this has been to change existing museums and to encourage the building of new ones. In the United States and Canada alone, there are now more than 6,000 museums, almost twice as many as there were twenty-five years ago. 78)About half of them are devoted to history, and the rest are evenly divided between the arts and sciences. The number of visitors, according to the American Association of Museums, has risen to more than 700 million a year.

　　In fact, the crowds of visitors at some museums are creating a major problem. The Metropolitan in New York and other great museums like the Louvre in Paris and the Prado in Madrid are often too crowded. 79)Admission to museums has always been either free or very inexpensive, but now some museums are charging entrance fees for the first time or raising their prices.

　　Even when raised, however, entrance fees are generally too low to support a museum, with its usually large building and its highly trained workers. 80)Several museums struggling to provide service without enough money have had to close some of their rooms or shorten viewing hours. They have not been able to afford enough guards to watch the crowds of visitors who want to come in.
