An ex-Welsh government minister is calling for the free entry policy to Wales' museums to be reconsidered due to financial pressures.
Alun Ffred Jones said an entry fee could improve Museum Wales' offering and expand its reach.
It comes after a new report warned that a decline in the quality of museums is "inevitable" without more flexibility.
The Welsh government said it would look at the recommendations and develop a plan.
One idea put forward by a former museum curator is that visitors from outside of Wales could be charged an entry fee.
Museum Wales has seven sites which aim to preserve and promote Wales' culture.
The current free admissions policy in Wales, in line with the rest of the UK, is not to charge for admission to national museums. It was introduced in Wales in 2002.
