9/11 Museum To Charge Admission Fee

NEW YORK -- 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, terror 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."

Testa was visiting the memorial Saturday with relatives from Florida.

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.

With the cost of operating the memorial and museum projected to be $60 million a year, the memorial foundation voted at its board meeting last week to charge a mandatory admission fee for the museum........................>>>>...........................>>>>....................http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/05/04/september-11-museum-fee_n_3216241.html

Yes bring your friends and family, fun for the kids to, make sure you "Never Forget" with a cheap souvenir made in China

Maybe we can come up some advertising slogans like "You're not a American until you visit the Museum" or "Don't like the price, then you must support the terrorist"

just have the airlines collect a $5 surcharge on all international flights coming to the US....you know...price 'em out of blowing
up things....then donate all to the 'free' 9/11 museum..

is that an oxymoron?

free 9/11 museum....hhhmmm....

how about offering a strip search for admission to the 'free 9/11 museum'....
