Plan Your Visit
We’re launching a new check-in policy to help make your visit to the BMA even better.
Beginning October 1, all guests will be asked to reserve a free general admission ticket before entering the Museum’s galleries. Tickets can be reserved online or at the Welcome Desk and will be accompanied by a short survey to help us better understand our visitors. By checking in, you’ll help us learn what brings people to the BMA, which allows us to create even more of the exhibitions, events, and experiences you love.
It only takes a moment, but it makes a big difference. Thank you for helping us make the BMA welcoming for all.
