Blue Star Museums is a collaboration among the National Endowment for the Arts, Blue Star Families, the Department of Defense, and museums across America. Each summer since 2010, Blue Star Museums have offered free admission to the nation’s active-duty military personnel and their families, including National Guard and Reserve. For more information on Blue Star Museums, please see the Frequently Asked Questions.
Blue Star Museums 2021 will begin on Armed Forces Day, May 15, 2021.
If you have questions or would like to be contacted at that time, please email bluestarmuseums@arts.gov.
