You don't. Just click "continue" and select Wednesday with a timeslot after 6pm, it shows up as $0.00. The membership thing is just an ad.

Places like the art gallery need to remind people to keep their personal effects to a minimum in high-volume periods. No one or thing should be jostling another person or artwork or protective case. Keep those cellphone trinkets/charms/dangling lanyards out of view too please. Less noise that way too and reduction of a safety issue if someone's strap snags on something or someone.

The annual AGO pass at only $40 is very affordable. A single ticket is already $30.

$40 is basically the cost of casual dinner in the city.

Thanks for the link! I went to the KAWS exhibition, and it is incredible! I loved everything on display. It's definitely worth visiting again.

I love the events that they do like Brunch Club or Yoga in the gallery! They are very creative on how to manage and promote museums.
