Museum Admission Program

Museum Admission Program
NEMA's Museum Admission Program is a collegial initiative in which our institutional members offer free or reduced admission to other NEMA members as a professional courtesy. By offering this benefit, participating museums help colleagues gain new ideas and perspectives, while building a strong New England museum community. Click here for details on how your museum can participate.

When Visiting...
Browse the list below to identify participating museums or use your browser's search feature to select a museum by name. Present your NEMA membership card (or Institutional Affiliate Membership confirmation email) to the museum's front desk. We recommend you confirm the museum's policies and hours of operation before visiting. Please note that the Museum Admission Program covers general admission, and may not apply to the following: exhibit previews, special exhibitions, films, special programs, lectures, workshops, or performing arts events. Please check details with the museum you are visiting.

If your visit inspires you to share your experience with colleagues, write a post for the NEMA blog and send it to heather.riggs@nemanet.org.
