    The wonder of the Metropolitan Museum of Art has been that it is as open to the public as Central Park. The new pay policy diminishes New York City: http://nyer.cm/PSCFEeO pic.twitter.com/4Ckkwjj8B1

        In 1970 the Met proposed an entry fee. I and over 100 NYC artists wrote to them saying our art educations would have never been possible if we had to pay to go see the Masters. We got them to add a "pay what you can" feature.

        Like everything these days, this hurts the poor more than anyone, esp poor students who benefit from access 2a massive encyclopedic collection (2/3'rds of which is stored @ any given time). So they could easily make up the balance but prefer to hurt poor students across the City.

        But it doesn’t. Nyt said tristate residents still have same access and that they’re not enforcing payment if you don’t have your ID.

        Policy seems kind of vague & confusing maybe kind of on purpose? The sort of thing where ppl with limited English / mobility / residency or $$ might not have the wherewithal to negotiate a free admission. Those w/money & means aren't affected. Still hurts poor disproportionately.

        Where tho? Students in the tri state region get in for free.Children still get in for free <12 yoa. And all state residents receive free admission. While I don’t think doc-ig ppl is the way to go, they won’t be turning ppl away who don’t/can’t prove.pic.twitter.com/2i53aSskCm

        So why even change it? It makes it confusing enough so some kid (or non-Eng speaking parent) from Queens or Brooklyn might not understand. I used to work there -- LOTS of elitism in upper echelons -- lots of individuals who think certain things are only for certain ppl ...

        But first what’s your argument, the museum isn’t accessible linguisticly or financially? Second, dignify non English speakers more, they’re adults functioning outside their primary language, obviously difficult so wtf are you infantilizing them? 1/

        And museums are awesome about having multi lingual accessibility whether it be in writing or staff. I know several are fearing impaired friendly. So why isn’t that the obvious next step?

        Like I said, I worked there -- it's not that they don't have "access" it's that limited English ppl are less likely to negotiate terms of free admission. Same for poor ppl who are too overwhelmed & perhaps intimidated by the opulence to demand & negotiate entry ...

        But they do “suggest” a donation of about 3 pounds. All the British cultural institutions have been hit by funding cuts

        I'm sure they could raise the admission to Buckingham Palace and The Tower of London instead.

        Surely some are not paying a “fair” amount, but many more are prohibited from enjoying the museum by this new policy. The Met is in this position due to decades of poor management.
