For thirteen years, Bank of America has put together their Museums on Us program where account holders get access to art and cultural institutions all across the country. They add more museums, aquariums, and cultural sights each and ever year. This year, the program includes 150 institutions in 85 cities, which means you can get into more places for absolutely free (this includes Merrill Lynch customers, which Bank of America acquired in 2008).
The participating institutions include the whole spectrum, in terms of popularity, and most notably include the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, the Seattle Art Museum, the Art Institute of Chicago, the New York Aquarium. My current fair state of Maryland only boasts two participating institutions – The American Visionary Art Museum (I went to a wedding here recently and it’s a pretty cool and wacky museum!) and the Reginald F. Lewis Museum of Maryland African American History & Culture.
To find out what institutions are participating in your area, you can search the Museums on Us site for more information.
Some fine print for you:
{ 11 comments, please add your thoughts now! }To qualify for Museums on Us, customers simply present their Bank of America or Merrill Lynch credit or debit card along with a photo ID to gain one free general admission to any participating institution. Not valid for special exhibitions, fundraising events or ticketed shows. Not to be combined with any other discounts or offers. Free admission does not guarantee reservation. Offer valid the first full weekend of each month through December 3-4, 2011

i hear ya, Jim. I wish they included more of the DC/MD/VA meseums.
BTW, have you checked out the NEWSEUM yet? Thought you might be interested in that. It has part of the berlin wall and the top of the twin towers. A lot of very cool stuff in there.
Not yet, I’ve heard of it a few times but haven’t had a chance to check it out.
I don’t have a BOA card, but this sounds like a nice little perk for people who do.
As Jim said in the fine print, it is free for the cardholder only. When I took my kids, I had to pay for my kids.
Is this a bad deal? No, but the admission is free for the cardholder only.
Al always, read the fine print
That’s a great point that people probably overlook, thanks Frugal!
i’ve have had a BOA card for some time, yet, i have not taken advantage of this yet. i would love to again, but there just are not many options “very” close to me.
also, i understand why they set it up the way they do, but i do wish it was, perhaps, free for the cardholder and a guest.
overall though, a great offer.
The Bank of America does not give a list of Museums that participate in the Museum program. Hello! what does it take to just list the museums by city.
Check out: http://museums.bankofamerica.com/
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. This is a wonderful gift to the community.
it is just half a gift to the comumity….the list of the museums doesn’t show up anywhere!!!
ysabel – just go to the website Jose put in his answer. Top right asks you to either put in the state or see “all.”
