INDIVIDUAL MEMBERSHIP

One of the best ways to experience the Museum is by becoming a member. Members at all levels receive free admission to ticketed exhibitions and Movies on the Lawn (summer season), discounts on shopping, dining, concerts, films, invitations and notices of special events and activities and much more (see below).

There are discounted levels for seniors, student and educator levels, and beginning at the Patron ($125) level, more benefits are added to enhance the Museum experience such as additional free exhibition tickets and membership in reciprocal programs throughout the United States at other museums.

Membership provides critical annual operating funds for the Museum and helps the Museum's permanent collection remain free to the public.
