Good news if you’re looking to add more culture and art to your life in the new year!

If you have a Bank of America (or Merrill Lynch) debit or credit card, you can get free admission at over 150 participating museums and cultural centers on the first full weekend of each month.

I’ll show you how you can get fee admission to places like the Mill City Museum in Minneapolis, the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, and the Museum of Arts and Design in New York City.

Free Museums January 2017

Link: List of Participating Museums

The Museums on Us program promotes culture, art, and science by giving folks free entry into participating museums and cultural centers nationwide. You just need a Bank of America (or Merrill Lynch) debit or credit card!

Qualifying cards include:

Just show your card at the door along with a photo ID.

Free entry is only good for the primary cardholder. So if you’re visiting with friends or family, they’ll need to have their Bank of America card or pay full price.

This is a great deal for folks who are traveling this weekend or looking for ways to save on entertainment.

If you’re in Portland, you could stop by the Portland Japanese Garden. And in Las Vegas, you could check out the DISCOVERY Children’s Museum. Check here to see if there’s a participating location near you!
