    The Metropolitan Museum of Art will charge mandatory admission for the first time in 50 years. Out-of-towners will have to pay $25 to get in.http://nyti.ms/2qo8G9P

        Speaking as a year over year supporting member of the Met, this saddens me deeply. In a year that sees the biggest yet in federal give-aways to the haves, this is a depressing removal of access for the have-nots. The shared benefits of our civil society are rapidly eroding.

        Yikes - I'm sure they used to ask you to pay whatever you wanted to. An amazing museum - sad that those who cannot afford to pay won't experience it.

        I'm from South Africa - I'm from as out of town as you get :) If I ever scrape up the money to visit NY again - I'd love to see the Met, Guggenheim etc again. But the rand/dollar rate is crazy!!

        Let’s not be elitist. That’s $25 per person so $100 for a family of four. For most families, that’s a stretch.

        I drive in from Boston. Costs me $20 for a tank of gas and I stay with friends. $25 is steep when I used to be able to donate $5 and have an affordable weekend away.

        Really? Are you a member at the Whitney Museum of Art also? They charge.

        No I am not, but the Metropolitan is in city buildings. The Whitney is not. And no, I haven't been to the MOMA since they started charging. Art needs to be free. Think of DC where you can go from museum to museum for FREE.

        You paid to go to DC. The choice of lodgywas yours. If the museums and monuments cost 25 each You probably would have gone somewhere else.

        The CSI "museum" isn't a part of the Smithsonian museums. It's more a tourist trap and definitely for-profit.

        David Koch paid for a big fountain out front with his name on it. I give the fountain the middle finger every time I visit. Yes, underwriting admissions would be a much better use for his ill-gotten gains, but you dont get to put you name on those!

        Same here. I've felt creepy about the Met since those Koch fountains went in. Ugh. Way to price out visitors - NYC is expensive enough as it is. Many tourists will forego the Met experience, which is sad.

        It’s give a donation if you can here in #SantaBarbara and one free day a month so at least low income families can educate children. #TheMet is a treasure. Something needs to come through for them #ArtIsLife
