Westchester/Fairfield Museum Alliance

Eight museums in Westchester and Fairfield counties have formed an alliance which will benefit arts enthusiasts throughout the region. The Fairfield/Westchester Museum Alliance offers free admission and a 10% gift shop discount to members of all participating museums – and for non-member visitors, a same-day free pass to all museums, when paying admission at any one of the eight museums.
Participating organizations include:

FOR MEMBERS

This program comes at no additional cost to members, simply present your membership card from one of the above museums to receive free admission.
This enthusiastic partnership is pleased to provide value added to your existing memberships offering convenience and expanded opportunity for arts enjoyment.
FOR ALL VISITORS
For those without a membership at one of the above museums, simply print a copy of the same-day pass which will be validated when you present it and pay for admission at the admissions desk at any one of the participating museums. The pass will entitle you to free admission at any one of the eight museums for the entire day. Simply present the validated pass to receive free admission.


To find out more about exhibitions and programs at participating locations, please visit each organization’s website by clicking on the links.

In terms of membership, all of the museums listed have a family membership that costs between $60-$125.  They offer different levels and perks for members, so look over their membership offerings before deciding.  To gain admission alone, you only need to be a member of one museum.  But if you like, you can join all 8, or donate to to them separately!
The Hudson River Museum also offers reciprocal privileges with museums around the nation (and I'm sure some of the other museums do too!)
