Do museums have a future?

Was reading there has been a big drop in museum visits - the journalist not sure about the reason, suggests we have become demoralised as a country or perhaps worried about terrorist attacks in the big cities like London.

My own town has seen a slashing of library services though there is a proposal for a state of the art new museum/art gallery (dependent of course on Lottery funding). By chance a couple of days ago, I visited the West Berkshire Museum in Newbury - it had a small but amazing prehistory section which astonished and pleased me. Entry was free in that instance which is not always the case - as with the Wiltshire Museum in Devizes for example.
