Why are there price ranges for membership levels rather than fixed dues?

We are pleased to offer membership price ranges so that members have more flexibility in choosing their level of support for each membership category. Gifts between the listed membership ranges include all benefits of membership at that level. All membership dues are fully tax-deductible and directly support the Museum’s mission and educational efforts. We hope you will consider a gift above the baseline membership price to show your support for the Museum and all that we do.

Are guest passes valid during Family Trees?

Yes! Guest passes are valid year-round, including during the Museum’s annual holiday fundraising exhibit, Family Trees: A Celebration of Children’s Literature.

Do guest passes expire?

Complimentary guest passes expire one year from date of issue. The expiration date can be found on the back of each pass. Purchased guest passes do not expire.
