After all, when people ask which museums to check out, I always tell them go the the Smithsonian museums because they're free and some of the best in town. Unlike Spy Museum, Hillwood, the Corcoran, Crime & Punishment, etc. Starting to charge fees would be a huge mistake. It's much easier to drop cash in the collection boxes. The administrative costs to add admission fees alone would up the museums budgets greatly. We need a web page protesting this! When can you get on that project? ;-) I hope this doesn’t happen.
