Hi it's me again.  I recently posted a question to the newsgroup, but
seeing as there has been some technical difficulty with the group I'll
try one more time.

I am searching for ANY information or expert opinion on attitudes
regarding museum entrance fees.  How do you the professionals feel about
charging an entrance fee to a museum open to the public?  How do you
justify the price of admission?  Arbitrarily or in relation to value?
I'm interested to know since I am writing a research paper for the
Toronto Historical Board in Toronto, Canada.  They are investigating
profitable marketing strategies in relation to transient visitors and
educational tours.  I need information regarding price perception of
these two groups.

Any information you could donate can be sent to me at:

post in on the bullitin c/o Sheila

Thanks A Lot!
Sheila
