Museums

are too often only located in large metropolitan centres, which limits the

access to those who live in regional or rural areas.

The

entrance fees are often too high, which bars some socio-economic groups from

being able to participate in understanding art and heritage.

Artworks

in the museum, particularly contemporary art, is often extremely obscure in its

meaning and lacks broad appeal.

The

provenance, or the way in which museums acquire their materials, are not

necessarily through legal or moral means, such as through pillaging.
