The terms of free access and instruction are spelled out in the laws the study bills will study, codify and publish for New Yorkers to know the facts of our free access and instruction. Urge your family and friends to sign the Petition to thank the sponsors and to demonstrate the importance free access to the cultural institutions means.

Today, the founder of the organization spearheading New Yorkers' free access campaign has an op-ed in the electronic cityandstateny.com periodical. Much appreciated as its publication gives further context for the need for the work called for in the study bills. Hoping for passage of the bills before NYS's legislative session ends on June 8.

FREE ADMISSION FOR ALL NYERS BC WE ALREADY PAY WITH OUR TAXES. Everyone deserves to be able to access these institutions & should not be denied bc of the inability to pay. ITS HARD FOR FAMILIES, all NYERS TO GO OUT & spend on these admission fees. Everything we pay for has gone up. Let us have a decent night out for free!!!

The work of the study bills, if passed, will ensure the disclosire and enforcement of New Yorkers' free access and instruction rights ... and ...luck... will have nothing to do with it.

The mid-19th crntury public-private partnership lays out New Yorkers free access and instruction rights.

And when if passed, the work of the study bills will be to codify the laws and to publish for New Yorkers, the specifics of our free access and instruction rights.

At one time it was free. And then it went to donations. - When I was a teenager, I was able to ingest the best of NYC's museums, because they were free. I felt like the luckiest kid in the entire world.

At least have a free admissions program for kids throughout the entire summer, like the state of Connecticut.

Until 1970, The Met charged those sums two days a week. The other days were free. Then, The Met introduced its pay-what-you-wish but you-must-pay-something fee, saying you vould pat as little as a penny but ...suggested... $1.00. At the time, journalists said one dollar today, twenty-five another day. The Met charges a mandatory $30 for adults and a pay-what-you-wish for New Yorkers and students in NJ and CT. The other park institutions followed The Met's lead and New Yorkers continue to have to ...pay something... despite these institutions receiving $1 Billion annually in direct and indirect subsidies. The study called for in these bills will lead to the disclosure and enforcement of the provisions of New Yorkers' free rights.

Admission prices to museums have gotten ridiculously high. When they were 25 or 50 cents, they were easily affordable. Many are now at least $20 per person, not affordable for a middle class family. It’s about time they became free.

Laws of a mid-19th century public-private partnership provide the structure and evidence New Yorkers' free rights.

Curious to know how you were made aware of free admission for your students and to what institutions?

Native New Yorker.. this is about time. Also, what about free metro cards for people going to volunteer projects?

As a public school teacher I was able to give assignments and send students to museums and botanical gardens as I knew they could get in free!
