Member FAQs
If we have your email address, you should have received an email with a link to your digital card. If you did not receive an email, visit our Membership Anywhere page on your smartphone and enter your information. Tap “Add to Apple or Google Wallet” to store your digital membership card in your wallet app. The card will update automatically when you renew. New Members will receive an email 2–4 business days after joining with a link to download their card.
If your membership allows an additional cardholder, you can forward your card to the person named on your account. They will be able to download the card to their digital wallet. If you did not receive an email with your digital card link, please email membercards@mam.org.
Your membership provides you with an entire year of benefits and increased access to the Museum. It expires on the last day of the 12th month. If you renew early, one full year will be added to your current expiration date. You won’t lose any time on your membership.
Your donor ID is on your digital membership card. If you have a plastic card, your donor ID is printed on the back side. If you are having trouble locating your donor ID, please email membership@mam.org.
Yes, your previously issued plastic card(s) can still be used to access all your benefits.
Your expiration date is located on your digital card and will be automatically updated when you renew your membership.
To use your parking benefits in the Calatrava or Museum Center Park garages, first scan the ticket you pulled when you entered the garage. Next, scan the QR code on your digital or plastic membership card. You’ll be prompted to pay by card if your membership level doesn’t provide you with complimentary parking (or if you’ve used all the complimentary parking your membership allows). For more information, visit Member parking FAQ.
Yes, you can upgrade anytime! You have two options for upgrading your membership:
1. Upgrade to a higher level by paying the full cost of the membership dues. You will receive your additional Member benefits immediately, and we will add one full year to your current expiration date.
2. Upgrade by paying the cost difference between your current level and the new level, and immediately start enjoying your additional benefits. Unlike the option above, however, your expiration date will not change.
To upgrade today, call us at 414-224-3284.
