I've visited this museum on past trips to New York but will now be less likely to do so. In the past I've gone in, paid $5-10 and spent 1-3 hours at the museum before moving on. It's a really big museum so I'd do this multiple times in a trip. Paying $25 I'd feel like I have to put everything I want to see into a single, longer visit. That's a lot less interesting to me than breaking it into several smaller visits over a few days.

The $25 admission gets you in for 3 consecutive days, which seems like it should still (mostly) support your way of using the museum?

This is an under-communicated point, and both makes the admission more palatable while subtly increasing the sense of value through the implication that you'll need multiple days to actually take in the breadth of the institution's collections.

I was unaware of that. If I can spread my museum time over three days then I would definitely be willing to spend the $25.
