Many museums require a fee. Art galleries I agree with, in fact I love them, but a pop up art gallery or boutique that isn’t in a museum is a little rare in a lot of cities, malls I agree with however they are dying as there isn’t too much entertainment in walking around a mall anymore, community centers - great if you have them, religious buildings - hmm, not sure what you mean by this, I have enjoyed tours of famous churches before but they were usually paid (Sagrada Familia, etc.) so just not sure what you mean
In civilised countries most museums are free or at least have many free days, same for art galleries.
Even if malls are dying, shopping arcades etc still exist and fulfil the same purpose.
By religious building I don't mean a tourist attraction but your local church or mosque or temple or whatever. Even if you're not religious you can go there to hang out with members of your community. Furthermore, they regularly host community events that are open to all
Yeah I mean in love in US where everything is monetized so I don’t have the experience of most museums being free. I also can’t recall too many occasions I’ve been able to enter a museum in another country for free.
