The Expense of This Class

One thing about the expense of the class... there is no textbook and the art book I would choose is over $125... many business and science books can top $200 as you know.  Did you know you can get into the Met in NYC for 25 cents if that's what you choose to give?  Many students do give that amount or maybe $1 if they are feeling generous.  The Yale Museums are free...

The Atheneum has this information posted: 

Free Morning Last Saturday Each Month

Completely funded by members of the museum’s Board and our patrons, the Free Morning program provides free admission to all visitors the last Saturday of every month between the hours of 10 a.m. and 1 p.m.
