Charging 'non-Glaswegians' to visit the city's award-winning museums and galleries is back on the table as Scotland's largest local authority looks to raise more of its own revenue., warned of worse times to come and said the local authority could not continue to"salami-slice" services, reports The Herald.
The council has already agreed to introduce a £3 entrance charge for the Kibble Palace in the Botanic Gardens.that offers free admission to most of its museums and galleries, including the Burrell Collection, which was named museum of the year by the Art Fund, the world's largest museum prize.

The council carried out a fact-finding exercise a few years ago to look at how it could implement a charging mechanism for the city's cultural assets that excludes Glaswegians. He said the city's museums and galleries got a"reasonable amount" from donations. The Banksy show generated £10,000 over its 10-week run.
Born and raised and Glasgow he said he was aware it was contentious to consider changing a policy that the city prides itself on.
