It is true that authorities invest a great deal of money in order to preserve art and

culture of their country. For some people, the authorities could invest the same
effort and money on other development activities but I disagree with this fact
that we should allow art and culture of any country to be vanished over the time
due to lack of attention.

Firstly, people beyond the borders like to experience different traditions when
they visit other country and neatly maintained art and culture attracts more
visitors. Tourist pours to United Kingdom during Christmas celebrations from
across the world to experience their culture and local celebration. Secondly, this
also provides employment to local people who sell handmade items which
tourists normally like to purchase. For an example, local people sell potteries,
statues, or wall hangings nearby Taj Mahal in India, employs many from the
state and which in turn adds to the GDP of the country.

In addition to that, it should be our moral responsibility to maintain the history

of the country for the next generation. Help from the authority to the local
artists could aid interest among other people as well. New Zealand Government
partly funded the production of a locally made movie which emphasizes on their
culture. Nevertheless, art and culture is also used for educational purpose for
children where schools provide guided tours to local museums to explain them
the history of the country. These fun filled learning activities would be missed if
authorities do not spend some money in maintaining the museums.

In conclusion, it is not just the responsibility of the Government authority but

also the local people of every country to help preserving the art and culture of
their country.
