Bank of America Free Museums For 2020 – Dates & List [Available This Weekend]

[Program is back for 2020]

Bank of America has a program called ‘Museums On Us‘ that gives it debit & credit cardholders access to free museums on the first full weekend of every month. You need to bring your debit/credit card along with photo ID to gain access and you only get access for the cardholder for free, no guests unfortunately (should be able to get around this by getting authorized user cards, but that would ruin somebody for Chase’s 5/24 rule).  You only get general admission to these institutions (e.g if their is a special event on then you won’t get free admission to that).

Museums Of Note

In this section I’m going to add museums that readers recommend, along with why they recommend them. Feel free to add to this in the comments.

  • Metropolitan Museum, New York City
    • It has everything, Egyptian, Byzantine, Medieval, Renaissance periods are well represented; An Armory section that includes the armor of Henry VIII and of course lots and lots of paintings done by the masters.
  • Children’s Museum of Richmond, Virginia.
    • While it has the word Museum in the name, I wouldn’t guess it would be part of this program as it is more of a big play land for kids. A great value for sure! – Seth

My recs: Philly Museum of Art (don’t forget to run up the steps a la Rocky) and Brandywine River Museum in Chadds Ford PA (lots of Wyeth at the latter, and beautiful trail along the river … travel a bit farther and rent a canoe or kayak from one of the region’s outfitters and make a day of it). Delaware Museum of Natural History is also fantastic, esp with kids.

Looks like they added the MoMA for 2020 as well (renovated a few months ago), which is well worth it ($25 regular admission).

The Brandywine River Museum of Art in Chadds Ford (southwest of Philly) is a great art museum (focused on Andrew and NT Wyeth) but around Christmas has the best kids model train layout in the region. Check their website for dates, might still be up this weekend. Normally $18/adult.

you can do better getting free museums from your library perhaps….the Seattle choices are slim.

Solid choices in Philly. Check out the “Notorious RBG” exhibit on Ruth Bader Ginsburg @ the Nat’l Museum of American Jewish History. African American museum is nearby.
And of course the Art Museum is always great (see if ya can hit it on a day with the concert series, maybe Fridays? I forget, played one of these like 10 yrs ago).
