Theyre not wrong, but it seem pretty reasonable to me regardless. Their other option (given they want more funds) is to raise prices for everyone and thereby restrict french access to their own cultural institution, which feels bad.

As an occasional tourist to France that doesnt seem unreasonable to me either. I mean as long as it's not like treble or something

ah yes, all the artifacts and works displayed in the museum definitely came exclusively from France and Europe, thus the museum is a purely French and European cultural institution

Wow, youre really good at reading things I didn't write. You must-have read hundreds of works from people who are not me.
