That's a bit of a culture shock to me that it seems like an exceptional thing that museum has free admission. Is it like that in USA as a whole? I don't know if that's a law or just a custom here, but all museums (aside of very short expositions or severely underfunded in my experience) provide access for free at least one day per week. I don't know if that comes from noble "anyone, no matter what is their financial state, deserves free access to knowledge and culture" or some weird law that allows, for example, lucrative tax break… but it's there.

Warsaw also has "Night of the Museums" twice a year where all of them are open whole night and anyone can visit for free. It's a surprisingly huge event to be honest.
