Blue Star Museums is a program that provides free admission to over 2,000 museums nationwide to active duty military personnel and their families.
This year, 2018, the program runs from Memorial Day, May 28th, through Labor Day, September 3rd. The military ID holder can bring five family members with him or her, and those family members can include a spouse or child, aunts, uncles, grandparents, etc.
If the military member is deployed the spouse can still participate in the free program. Read the FAQ for more details, including the documentation you’ll need to bring.
