Any city owned museum, such as the Museum of Natural History is suggested admission only. I started only paying a nickel when I went in after my ex-boss(former deputy commissioner for several city agencies) told me about multi-million dollar private events held each year at the taxpayers expense.

I'm sure the people who donate money to the museum are the ones invited, but it seems like a wash with the money charged for admission that is then spent on parties, etc. Be glad to donate money for a good cause, lower the admission price, and make people feel less guilty if they can't afford the whole price for admission.
