Reciprocal Membership Programs

The RISD Museum participates in three reciprocal membership programs that give our members access to over 1,000 museums nationwide! Your membership level determines which programs you are enrolled in. Information is subject to change—we advise you call ahead to confirm an institution’s participation before you visit. An active RISD Museum membership card is required upon admission.

COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY ART MUSEUMS RECIPROCAL PROGRAM

Through the College and University Art Museums Reciprocal Program, academic museums have opened their doors to the members of other teaching museums. Visitors have the opportunity to see how other schools use their collections for teaching and enjoyment. All RISD Museum members with an active membership card enjoy this benefit.
