To All:
Recently I visited a non-profit museum which was currently having a special
exhibit. I would not like to mention the specific name of the museum or the
exhibit. The museum had a regular admission price of around $8 and charged
an additional $8 to see their new special exhibit. The museum also required
that if anyone wanted to see the special exhibit, they must also pay for
regular admission to the museum. I was offended by the price gauging of
this institution.
I was wondering if it anyone out there had any other similar experiences
like this at another non-profit museum. Is it common for museums to charge
additional fees to see special exhibits? I can understand a dollar or two
but nearly $8 seems quite high and requiring visitors to pay for regular
admission as well as special exhibit fees seems a bit much don't you think?
Isn't this a violation of federal non-profit standards?
