It does not work close to home. NARM excludes institutions within 15 miles of the one where you hold your membership, so the places nearest you are usually the ones your card will not get you into. This benefit is built for travel.

Common questions

What is NARM?

The North American Reciprocal Museum Association is the largest of the reciprocal programs. If your membership carries the NARM logo, it is worth free general admission at other member institutions, plus the discounts they give their own members. It covers art, history and cultural institutions. You do not join it separately and it does not come with its own card: the membership card from the institution where you are a member is the one you show.

How do I know if my membership includes NARM?

Look for the NARM logo on your membership card, or check the membership page of the institution where you joined. Not every membership level includes it, and it is often attached to a family or higher tier rather than the cheapest one.

Does NARM work at places near me?

Usually not. NARM excludes institutions within 15 miles of the one where you hold your membership. That is deliberate, so that reciprocal admission does not replace a local membership, and it is why the benefit is worth the most when you travel.

How many museums are on the list?

We list 1,001 museums across 51 states, and the roster changes as institutions join and leave. Every place on this page has been checked against the official program roster rather than assumed from its category.

What does it actually get me in the door for?

General admission, normally for the people named on the card. Special exhibitions, planetarium and large format theater shows, parking, timed tickets and store discounts are usually excluded unless the venue says otherwise. Guests are not covered unless they hold a valid card of their own.

Is a digital membership card enough?

Usually yes, shown together with photo ID. The card has to be the one issued by the institution where you are a member, and the name on it has to match your ID. A screenshot of a member list is not a membership card.

The other reciprocal programs

A membership often carries more than one of these at once, and they cover different kinds of places.
