I belong to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It's probably the most amazing museum in the world. I've been a member since last November and have been probably 12-15 times and still haven't seen all of it by a long stretch. It's been worth the money, too. It's $85 a year and you get free admission and some other perks. Normal admission is $10 a visit. My question is this, should I renew or should I branch out and join a different museum? I love art museums and go all the time but I can't afford to join multiples. So, look at some of the other options and make a persuasive argument. That's this Thursday's contest. Look at The Met, The Guggenheim, The Museum of Modern Art (which I won't join until it moves back to Manhattan), The Whitney, The American Folk Art Museum, The New Museum of Contemporary Art and The Frick Collection. I also like to go to The Asia Society and El Museo del Barrio as both have great installations but they don't change enough to justify getting a membership.
