I know nothing about this museum but I also do not know of any museum that is fully supported by admission revenues. Could you name a few for me?

Gee, I haven't a clue but why shouldn't they be self-supporting. I am sick of being robbed for what the wealthy and minority think is important. Whomever wants it--should pay for it and not rely on any TAX DOLLARS.

About two hours west of Philadelphia: Mr. Ed's Elephant Museum.

I'm a Mr. Ed's Deputy.

I don't know of any either, which isn't saying much. As noted earlier, I'd certainly look for revenues beyond admissions, such as concessions and private grants. But it ought not be the burden of taxpayers to pay for museums or other unprofitable enterprises.
