About

What’s included?

In addition to free admission, participating museums may offer discounts on store purchases, lectures, events, performances, and more.

How does it work?

If you are an MCA Member at the Friend-level ($150) or above, simply show your current membership card to any of the participating museums listed below.*

The MCA participates in three reciprocal museum programs:

  • Museum Alliance Reciprocal Program (MARP), managed by the Baltimore Museum of Art
  • Western Reciprocal Program (WR), managed by the Denver Art Museum
  • The Modern and Contemporary Reciprocal Program (Mod/Co) managed by the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago

Through these programs, we offer our members benefits at the participating museums listed on this page.

*Please note: expired MCA membership cards will not be honored.

These reciprocal benefits are in effect as of Jan 1, 2024.

Questions?

If you are a museum interested in participating in Mod/Co, you can find more information about the program and apply online.
