Visitors to the Metropolitan Museum of Art can pay as little as a penny to see the museum’s priceless collection of art. However, a lawsuit is suggesting that most visitors, especially tourists, are paying $25 for entrance to the museum due to a sign which points to a ‘recommended’ $25 adult admission.
‘The museum was designed to be open to everyone, without regard to their financial circumstances,’ attorney Arnold Weiss told The Associated Press. ‘But instead, the museum has been converted into an elite tourist attraction.’
