Re: Museum Charges

[geojbb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Bret Bennington)]

The American Museum of Natural History in New York City (and all other
city-financed museums, I believe) have what seems to me a very fair
admissions policy.  There is a suggested admission (currently $8.00 for
adults) but any amount is accepted - you can pay whatever you can afford.
I have no idea how that works out for the museum, but it seems to me to be
an elegant solution to the quandry of charging admission to public museums.
