Lots of people send money to museums not expecting anything in return...they just want to support the museum. This is no different. Most museums have gift shops. This one is no different. Many museums have membership programs. This one is no different. It turns out that this one is really no different.

True. This one just happens to be 1000 miles from where I live. Usually I pop for the $12 coffee mug in a museum gift shop. I guess $100 for a couple of reprints puts me at a whole new level of philanthropy.
You are correct in the fact that the NCM is not supporting a Hospital for needy kids or a shelter for needy animals, etc. , but without support from Corvette owners and members it will not exist. It does not receive and funding from GM or Chevrolet. I had no issue spending that money for the build sheet and window sticker for my C5 or now for my C6. I also shop at the store when I am looking for Corvette specific items. Without members and visitors spending money at the NCM, it would not be able to carry on.
I fully agree the Corvette is my passion and the museum carries that passion out and I have no problem with buying a membership. I also support the Harley Davidson museum and I am a member of HOG that is also my passion
