North American Reciprocal Museum Program

COVID-19 Update:

Although the indoor facilities of most museums are currently closed, most plan to reopen over the summer. Currently, museums with outdoor facilities – trails, gardens, etc – have opened these areas for visitors (see the list, below). Because of density restrictions, you might need a timed ticket. Please visit the museum’s website for details.
