    I would rather live in an open society of cultural and intellectual largesse than one whose wealth is predicated on theft and exclusivity, so yes, keep the museums free. I’m more serious about this than Jim Sinegal is about Costco hotdogs.

    And what about France, Spain, Netherlands?

    The UK is always the one that gets singled out by people like you. They all charge, BTW.

    I mean, you pillage the globe stealing everyones most prized and culturally significant possessions for a century…

    The absolute least you can do is let them look at it for free when they travel to England
