I believe it has something to do the tax-exempt status. Being tax-exempt, a
large percentage (I forgot how many) of your income must be from donation
but not sales. You still can sell stuffs but the sales should not be a major
source of income.
The Brooklyn Museum has a "suggested" price with some wiggle room, also, but the Modern, the Whitney, & the Guggenheim don't. Where the "tax exempt" applies in these cases, I don't know, unless you mean deducting your entry fees from your income tax ?
