9/11 Admission

From USA Today:
"9/11 museum officials say admission fee needed"

Faced with hefty operating costs, the foundation building the 9/11 museum at the World Trade Center has decided to charge an admission fee of $20 to $25 when the site opens next year. The exact cost of the mandatory fee has not yet been decided. Entry to the memorial plaza with its twin reflecting pools will still be free. The decision to charge for the underground museum housing relics of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks has been greeted with dismay by some relatives of 9/11 victims. "People are coming to pay their respects and for different reasons," said Janice Testa of Valley Stream, whose firefighter brother Henry Miller Jr. died at the twin towers. "It shouldn't be a place where you go and see works of art. It should more be like a memorial place like a church that there's no entry fee." The memorial plaza opened in 2011 on the 10th anniversary of the terror attacks, but disputes over funding have pushed the museum's opening back to spring of 2014. Foundation officials had considered an optional donation but rejected the idea.

^ I think $20-25 per person to enter is way too much. I understand it costs money to keep the place going, but $20 a person seems more like price gauging then merely trying to cover expenses. Even $10 a person would be more reasonable. ^
