Rates and Benefits Change January 1, 2027

We are introducing a new membership program in 2027 with enhanced benefits to provide even greater access to the museums.

  • Why are you changing the membership rates?  Beginning January 1, 2027, membership rates will increase as part of an updated membership program with enhanced benefits. This is our first membership rate increase since 2014. Operating expenses have increased significantly over the last 12 years, and this is needed to keep up with rising costs.
  • If I renew early, when will my membership expire? Your new membership will expire 12 months after your current expiration date.
  • Why should I renew now if my membership isn’t expiring yet? Renewing early lets you secure one more year at the current lower membership rate while still receiving the benefits of the updated membership program beginning January 1. You don’t have to renew early, but at renewal, your membership rate will be at the higher price.
  • Will I get the new benefits if I renew at the old rate? Yes. When the new membership program begins January 1, 2027, you’ll receive the benefits associated with your membership level, even if you took advantage of the early-renewal rate.
  • What happened to senior pricing? We have streamlined our program to have one price for each category.
  • What happened to the Student, Individual/Dual and Family Grandparents levels? These levels will no longer continue with the new program and will be converted to the new entry level called Supporter.
  • What happens if I wait until my normal renewal date? If you renew on or after January 1, 2027, the new membership rates will apply.
  • Can I change membership levels when I renew early? Yes. If you’d like to change levels, our Membership team can help you determine the appropriate rate and benefits.
  • I have more questions. Please email or call us and we would be happy to answer other questions you have. [email protected] or 505.216.1773.
