Welcome Blue Star Museums!

Get in for free – just show your AD military ID! Museums across America are opening their doors to show their appreciation for those who have been serving this nation. This summer, over 600 museums in all 50 states are offering free admission to active military personnel and their families from Memorial Day, May 31, 2010, through Labor Day, September 6, 2010.

If you are active duty military personnel or an immediate family member (spouse or child) of active duty military personnel, we hope you will visit as many museums on this list as possible during the summer. Just show your Geneva Conventions Common Access Card (CAC) for active duty military personnel or a DD Form 1173 for active duty military family. Please note that some special or limited-time museum exhibits may not be included in this free admission program, so check with the museum directly.

Blue Star Museums is made possible through a partnership between Blue Star Families [LINK] , the National Endowment for the Arts and more than 600 museums.
