Museum memberships
Jan. 27th, 2011 03:54 pmSo.
I live in a city with lots of free museums and a couple that cost money (Phillips and Corcoran). I also like to travel and have been looking into booking trains well in advance to get CHEAP tickets to places for a day or weekend from time to time.
There seems to be a membership thingy at The Metropolitan Museum of Art whereby a membership with the MFA in Boston or the MFA in Philadelphia can get you entry to the MET (and a couple of museums in Pittsburgh as well). The thing is I can only find information if I type in reciprocal on the Met's webpage, and I can't tell which membership level it links to. If it's the basic yearly membership, then it's entirely worth it for me. If it only kicks in at $100 or above, it isn't.
Can anyone tell me if a) Membership in the MFA Boston gets me the same deal (entry to Corcoran, MFA Philadelphia, and MET/Cloisters + any others) and b) what level of membership I'd need to take advantage -- through MFA Boston for preference, but I'll take the MET?
