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?

Why don't people come back to museums? Why do we go to the same restaurants again and again, but not the same movies?
