Cashiers at the Metropolitan Museum of Art were paid in part based on how much they collected at the door and management discouraged them from disclosing that the price of admission can be as little as one cent, a former employee said in a sworn affidavit.

The statement was filed in late June to support a lawsuit challenging the museum’s “recommended” admission, which is now $25 for adults.
