SUPPORT
Free at the door for 160 years — because of people like you.
The Society receives no general operating support from the federal government. Free admission at three properties, year-round education programs, and the collecting initiatives are underwritten by members, donors, and corporate partners.
Ways to give
Become a Member
Annual or monthly membership keeps general admission free for everyone.

One-time or recurring giving toward exhibitions, education, and the collections.

Become a Member
Four thousand-plus households keep this place free.
Membership keeps general admission free at all three properties, underwrites collecting initiatives, and pays the educators who serve 36,000 students a year. It also brings you closer in — curator briefings, behind-the-scenes tours, member previews.
