Museums are a cornerstone to any society, and they are a great way to get involved in the community as well as staying relevant in the art world. Museum entrances fees are normally fairly reasonable, but being a member of a museum can really open some doors for almost always a great price. If you are on the edge, go ahead and buy that museum membership.
Financially
In terms of money, a museum membership normally only costs the same as about 4 or 5 admission tickets, which means if you know you’re going to go more than that amount of times, financially it is worthwhile to get the membership.
Benefits
The benefits of joining a museum can vary, but they almost always include a discount at the gift shop, the cafeteria, and admission of one extra guest. All of that in and of itself makes the membership worth it, but often you can also get exclusive access to cafes and lounges, and maybe even first viewings of exhibits.
Support Local
Supporting your local museum is not only good for you, it’s good for the museum. Museum memberships shows that the community cares and values art, and that goes a long way.
