  1. Do I purchase a museum membership to get the NARM benefits? Or do I purchase a NARM membership?

    Thank you

    1. Hi Janine!

      Basically, you would be purchasing an annual membership to a NARM participating museum, at a level that includes the reciprocal benefits; and then you would receive the free admission into all the other participating museums as well.

      There are occasional exclusions based on distance, but you would need to check directly with the museum whose admission you would like to purchase to ensure you are getting all the proper and current information!

      Hope that helps!

      Good luck!
