The Met, located in New York's famous Central Park, is facing legal
action for the second time in only 4 months over its admission fee
policy. The museum and the city have an agreement which allows the
museum to occupy city-owned land rent free, provided the public may
enter free of charge several days during the week. Visitors are greeted
with signs reading "Admissions Recommended," which some argue are
intentionally misleading and which suggest that an entry fee is
required. Cases were filed in November of last year and again this
spring, alleging that this signage violates the Met's agreement with the
city. In a statement by the museum's Director and CEO, the Met denies
the ambiguity of the signs and states that this "recommended admissions"
policy was actually agreed to by the City of New York. It remains to be
seen whether the signs will have to be removed or reworded.
