I say "NO" as it is one of our great benefits as a citizen of the US. I
enjoyed the Smithsonian museums a great deal as a college student and
grad student. I would not have been able to take advantage if there was
a fee. I am sure the fee would have out weighed my interest.
Besides going to school in DC, I was also a foster care social worker so
I know the great divide of politicians and poverty populations residing
in the city. I think attaching a fee would eliminate any potential of
linking the urban residents of DC to the museums.
As a museum professional I can see why the question of admission comes
up. I think a compromise, if one is necessary; can be to have free base
admission and then charge for special exhibits and/or programs.

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Survey: Smithsonian Museum admission fees
I am offering a short survey
Smithsonian Admission Survey: Should the Smithsonian museums on the
Mall in DC charge admission, and if so, how much could they charge?
