The only one with which I am familiar is the superb Railway Museum in York, and I don’t think anyone one would seriously object to paying for entry, as opposed to the ‘voluntary’ donations they currently collect.
After all, you pay £9 to get into the Minster in the same city- at first I objected to paying to get into a church, but when you see the scale and cost of the ongoing renovation, you quickly change your mind….
