Should access to culture come at a higher price for some visitors? This week on arts24, we examine the growing controversy over rising entrance fees at Europe’s most iconic cultural sites, as France moves to charge non-European visitors more at the Louvre and Versailles – a decision that has sparked debate over fairness, funding and universal access to art.
The discussion continues in Rome, where authorities are introducing a fee for all visitors approaching the Trevi Fountain, in a bid to curb overtourism and protect one of the Eternal City’s most fragile landmarks.
We also travel to West Africa, where Benin is investing heavily in culture-led tourism, using the annual Vodun Days festival to challenge long-held stereotypes and reclaim a misunderstood spiritual heritage.
