North American Reciprocal Museum (NARM) Guidelines

• your member admission price if your institution does not have a shop

• your member shop discount if your institution does not charge an admission fee

• There is no fee to join NARM.

• The program is for your members who pay $100 US (or equivalent) or more for their membership to your institution. Guest members are not inlcuded.  Also Note: Memberships sold at a discounted price below $100 do not qualify for NARM benefits.

• A gold NARM sticker must be placed on the qualifying members cards in order for your members to receive reciprocal privileges. Each member who qualifies must have a valid membership card with the gold NARM sticker (if you issue one card for two people you must include both names on the card) and the membership card should display the expiration date, or the member should have documentation of their expiration date available. .
  

• 'Family' memberships are not defined by NARM, but according to each institutions' policies. Please advise your qualifying members to contact the institution they plan to visit in advance to find out  their 'Family' membership policy to avoid confusion.

• Upon presentation of a valid membership card with the gold NARM sticker from one of the participating institutions the member will receive the following*:

  • Free/member admission at all times during museum hours

  • The same discount on purchases made on the premises of concert and lecture tickets, as those offered members of that museum

  • The same discount on purchases made on the premises in the gift stores as those offered members of that museum

  (*Note: footnotes placed by the institutions name in the official NARM Listing may restrict some privileges)

• Staff members of participating NARM institutions do not automatically receive NARM privileges. Staff members receive a membership card with the NARM sticker if the staff member donates at the $100 level or more, or if the institution provides for staff membership at the $100 level or above.
  

• Updates will be made quarterly (March, June, September, December).

• E-mail is the preferred method of communication.

• Reciprocal privileges do not include mailings from any institution except for the institution with which the member is directly affiliated.

• Membership continues until the institution cancels with the NARM manager (see below).
