Up until 2018, the Met’s pay-what-you-wish policy extended to visitors from around the globe, the last museum in the world to have such broad guidelines. In March of that year, the policy changed to apply only to state residents and students in the tri-state area. Despite not needing to pay the hefty new admission fee, some locals are still annoyed about it. Ericson Contreras, a 19-year-old student from Harlem visiting the museum earlier in the week, called the new pricing “absurd” and said he’s been disappointed about the limited diversity in the museum’s collection.
