How: Get your free ticket 

Please Note:
You can get a ticket for yourself and one other person. It is per email address. If you bring other guests who have not gotten a ticket, they will have to pay the regular price. If you have 2 adults and 2 kids, be sure each of the adults uses a different email and gets a ticket for a child.

You can only get free tickets to one museum (per email), so be sure you choose which one you really want to go to. There are no exchanges for a different museum once you've made your selection.

Some places will accept a mobile ticket via your phone, some may not. Be sure to check the ticket to see if you need to print it out before you go. If a printed ticket is required, and you don't have a printer, ask a friend, or go to a library to get them printed.

Use this link to find participating museums. Note there are museums all over, so even if you won't be in the area, check it out! There may be a museum near where you'll be that is participating.
