Should museums be free? That’s the question many people are asking following news of a class action lawsuit(集体诉讼) against one of the world’s most prestigious, expensive and visited museums.

New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art is accused of deceptive ticketing practices. The lawsuit charges that the museum leads people to believe the $25 fee is ______ rather than merely recommended.

The Met attracts six million visitors per year, all of whom see a sign at the entrance informing the museum’s $25 adult admission fee. Though in smaller type just below the price is the word “recommended”. Over 40 percent visitors pay the full ticket prices ______ noticing it.

The lawsuit has raised questions about the pricing of museums across the U.S., ranging free to a recommended fee to mandatory(强制的) ticket fee. This is ______ some countries, like the U.K., where all national museums are free.

According to the survey, museums in smaller cities tend not to charge admission fees, such as Ohio’s Cleveland Museum of Art. Museums in larger cities, such as New York’s Met, tend to charge high entry fees. Museums in major cities, especially those that attract tourists, charge a lot for entry. Their counterparts in areas with ______ international tourists or which rely on local visitors are more likely to be free because they need those visitors to return.
