Met Buckles Down for Last Few Days

Whoa meanies at the Metropolitan Museum of Art! Our sister site Racked NY reports that the Met has canned both membership privileges and the audio tour for folks attending the final few days of the Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty exhibit. "The museum abruptly stopped honoring membership privileges on Thursday. Initially, security guards only turned away people with temporary membership cards—the kind you get when you sign up while waiting to get into the show. But by today, staffers were refusing to let any members jump the line. The Met has also tossed its audio tour, presumably because it causes hold-ups inside the packed exhibit." [Racked NY]
