Hi Linnie,
Thanks for the Catherine of Cleves post! The Morgan Library & Museum's general admission price is $12. You can find additional admission information here: http://www.themorgan.org/visit/
Also, I wanted to mention that we have a great online exhibition for Catherine of Cleves...so you can still peruse the manuscript after May 2. Enjoy!
