Going Free: The Pros and Cons of Offering Free Admission to Our Museums
Tuesday, April 12, 2005, 2:00-5:00PM
San Jose Museum of Art

What if all museums were free? Consider the pros and cons of museums offering free admission in an afternoon discussion. Dan Keegan, Oshman Executive Director of the San Jose Museum of Art, will share why SJMA stopped charging admission and the results of that decision. Marjorie Schwarzer, Chair of the Department of Museum Studies at John F. Kennedy University, will share another point of view, one that questions offering free museum admission.

A session moderator will challenge both presenters to delve into the issues, ensuring a lively discussion!
