I am new to the Museum-L listserve, so please forgive me if this issue was discussed previously: Our Museum is considering eliminating our admissions fees. Currently, we charge $7.00 for general admission and $4.00 for discounted admissions. Some argue that this could be a barrier for some visitors and may be limiting our potential visiting audience. I am currently conducting an evaluation to determine if this is the case. As part of my evaluation, I would like to look at a few case studies of other museums that previously charged an admissions fee, and then either reduced it or eliminated it completely. Can anyone refer me to Museums that have done this? Your help is greatly appreciated. ----------------------------- Elana K.
