Reciprocal membership
Members at certain levels are entitled to receive the same benefits offered to members of other museums, upon presenting their specially marked membership card. Benefits typically include free admission and discounts in the museum stores.
Art Advocate–level Members are entitled to privileges at institutions participating in the North American Reciprocal Membership Program (download complete museum list). If a museum you wish to visit is not on the Art Advocate list, consider becoming a Donor-level Member for access to more than 350 museums across North America.
Donor–level Members and above are entitled to privileges at institutions participating in the North American Reciprocal Membership Program, Museum Alliance Reciprocal Program, and Art Museum Reciprocal Network (download complete museum list).
Support groups
Eight in all, the Museum‘s support groups are smaller communities of Museum Members who share an interest in a particular form of art within the Museum‘s Collection and, in turn, engage in social activities that support and advance its appreciation within the Museum and the greater community.
Current promotions for Members
In appreciation of the support Members provide, the Museum works with local partners to develop exclusive offers for Members. Members must present their membership to enjoy these benefits.
