Merry Memberships

Gift a membership that keeps on giving for the year ahead

- Courtney Mclaughlin

If your family has a favorite spot they love visiting over and over again, purchasing an annual family membership could be the perfect gift to ensure lots of memories and quality time together in the upcoming year.

Memberships are typically good for a year and offer access to member-only events, special exhibitions and discounts on gift store items, camp registration, restaurants and stores. Some memberships also include reduced or free admission to partner museums across the country giving you big bang for your buck, and interesting places to stop on the next family road trip.

Fees for memberships are listed below but are subject to change at any time, and may even be discounted for holiday gift-giving. Check the website for the most accurate pricing and benefits information.

FOR THE LOVE OF ART

If you love a great two-for-one deal, the Mint Museum membership has your name written all over it. Family memberships start at $100 (supporter level) and include free general and special exhibition admission to the Mint Museum Uptown and the location on Randolph Road. A membership also entitles you to discounts on programs, classes and summer camps (save 25%), and a 10% discount on admission for guests and the museum store. Hungry? Present your membership card and eat for less at Halcyon and Something Classic Cafe locations. Yum! BONUS: You also have privileges with participating Southeastern Reciprocal Museums (not including neighboring Charlotte museums).
