Freebie: 70 museums for free
Posted by: JD Rinne, Friday, May 2, 2008, 12:04 PM

Bank of America is offering cardholders free admission to museums year-round. The "Museums on Us" promotion (which we blogged about last year) used to be offered only in May. But now Bank of America customers can enjoy the perk on the first weekend of every month. Present your check, ATM, or credit card at your museum's ticket window, and you'll receive free admission to more than 70 museums nationwide.

It all kicks off this Saturday. You can see Monet at the Metropolitan in New York City, MJ's Bulls uniform at the Chicago History Museum, or peruse the 1,100 American paintings at the deYoung in San Francisco, among many other experiences.

How many can go for free on one card?

At some locations, free admission is limited to the cardholder. At other locations, the cardholder can buy multiple entrances. You'll have to contact your museum to see what its policy is. Find a list of museums (and phone numbers) at this website:

Enjoy.

I took a look and the museum selections are very slim pickins. Just a few museums in each state, and many states are not even listed. And don't expect big name famous museums like Ripleys, etc. Also remember it's only one weekend per month (the first)

I tried to go to one of these in NYC. The hours were very limited to the late afternoon only. You must call before you go and find out what their rules are for free entry.
