Both wasoxygen and flagamuffin made similar points, and after doing some reading on my own I must say that Polish museums do indeed get both private investors and governmental funding to some extent. I mean, most stuff outside of Louvre is unlikely to get by on tickets alone, and even that is my ignorant gut-feeling.

Something just felt alien when I heard that I don't get a choice to go with a crowd for free or pay 4-8 USD (converted for you guys, depends on the museum) to get in. You can halve it if you are a student in all cases. I guess that all countries have their quirks, some are just less expected than others.
