Membership
Enjoy 12 months of free admission to the museum, discounts, and access to special events with your basic museum membership.
If you enjoy your museum experience and plan to return throughout the year, membership provides a great value. A membership to The Strong offers free general museum admission for twelve months and represents a cost-effective way for families to visit the museum frequently.
