What do you think about the admission to the 9/11 museum?

I agree.

At least it could have a "pay what you can afford" policy, like the Museum of Natural History or the Met has.

I'm even more disturbed by the way this has already become a touristy thing. Many New Yorkers say they'd like to go, but they don't want to have that moment of quiet contemplation to process this enormous event we all went through surrounded by tourists in backpacks and shorts.

There was a NY Times story about this in yesterday's paper.

I'll probably go eventually. It took me a long time to go to the memorial, just for this reason. I eventually went last September on Yom Kippur. (It seemed the right day for mourning the dead. ) There weren't as many tourists by then. I think I made the right decision. It was a weekday and a bit rainy and there weren't too many people there. We found the name of a friend of ours. My daughter and his son used to play together. (My daughter and I wound up crying in each other's arms.) It was a moving experience.

I think I'll do the same with this new museum. I'll wait a year or more until the media coverage dies down. I'll probably try to go at a time when fewer tourists are in the city.

Do I mind the ticket price? Yes. But more because I feel it should be something all New Yorkers should be able to afford to go to. But I also feel that they should make more of an effort to make New Yorkers feel test this is a place for them! Right now, it doesn't feel that way.

If you think $24 is too much then just don't go, you never explain what you think a reasonable museum fee would be.

Madame Tussauds wax museum is $36, I think you out of touch at what things cost in the year 2014.

It isn't about cost but rather value.

To the asker, as a stupid man, you should not think about that big issue.
