Where the "tax exempt" applies in these cases, I don't > know, unless you mean deducting your entry fees from your income tax ? Judy, For those that don't have a "suggested" price, do you mean they don't suggest a price, or they charge a fix price as in selling movie tickets? What I mean about the "tax exempt" thing is for an organization to be tax-exempt as a non-profit organization (and there are different categories), the museum should make their major income from donation but not from other activities like sales of things. That's why they technically don't want to "sell" their tickets but just hint it by calling it "suggested donation." So it is still a donation. Are the other museums that you mentioned also non-profit? Dave
