<p>Just a note:</p>
<p>Anyone who wants can have free admission to the Met. </p>
<p>They ask for a “recommended” donation at the entrance, and the signs make the suggested donation amount look like a fixed charge, but you don’t have to pay them anything, and they will certainly gladly accept a reduced donation if you aren’t able to pay the full recommended amount.</p>
<p>I do think that the CUID will also provide free admission to many other museums without charge-- but I just want others to know that they can gain access to the Met without paying the suggested $25 per adult entrance fee.</p>
