Membership Benefits
What member events are offered?
Members enjoy exhibition previews, exclusive tours, lectures, and more! Please visit our member events page
Do members receive reciprocal benefits at other museums?
Yes!
All member levels enjoy reciprocal admission at museums and science centers that participate in the Association of Science-Technology Centers (ASTC) Passport Program. Participating science centers and museums must be beyond a 90-mile radius of Pittsburgh and your home address.
Dual-level members and above enjoy free admission through the Reciprocal Organization of Associated Museums (ROAM). Note: Reciprocal ROAM museums must be at least 25 miles outside of Pittsburgh.
Premium, Donors Circle, and Patrons Circle members also receive reciprocal admission to 20+ select art and natural history museums across the country.
Show your Carnegie Museums membership card and a photo ID at admissions. We recommend calling before you visit, as the list of reciprocal museums may change without notice.
