Creators should not cost museums admission revenue

Ship Shape pays admission even when free entry is offered because a five-person visit represents meaningful income to a museum.

Notes

Respect for museums includes paying when the visit can reasonably absorb the cost. A lone creator who has traveled far may accept an offered complimentary ticket. A crowdfunded five-person group would remove a meaningful amount of admission revenue if every ticket were waived. Ship Shape therefore pays for its entry, supporting the institution financially as well as promoting it.
