Five years ago, I wrote a post arguing that museum photo policies should be as open as possible. I believe that the ability to take photographs (no flash) in a museum greatly increases many people''s abilities to personalize, memorialize, and enjoy the experience. How many museums? Some people can sketch in museums.

Pop quiz: How much does it cost to go a museum? Museums can range from free to about $30 for admission. But even more than this confusion, I believe museums suffer from a lack of consistent expectations when it comes to price and purchase options. So why can’t museums do it? Is the more expensive movie worth more?
