>or they charge a king’s ransom to see the work on their walls, like the Louvre (seventeen euros) Partially true, European visitors under 25 years get free access. As a not-so-rich-student this is what made me visit the Louvre. I'm not an arts student and didn't really know what to expect from an art museum, so this is what made me visit the Louvre on a recent layover. If I had to pay, I probably wouldn't have visited it, as I expected to not get the money worth in the 2-3 hours I had. I'm guessing others feel this way as well. $25 seems like a good filter for very interested visitors though.
