Museums on Us

Starting in May 2008, Bank of America's annual Museums on Us! month is going year-round. Since 1998 the bank has offered free museum admission in the month of May to customers in participating states, but now the promotion has been expanded from one month to the first full weekend (Saturday and Sunday) of every month. The promotion is both a thank you to customers and a means of increasing public awareness of artistic and cultural institutions.

So far four Massachusetts museums are listed as participating. Admission is free to the card holder and does not include special events or ticketed shows. Be prepared to show a photo ID and Bank of America credit card, ATM card, Check Card, or MBNA credit card.
