The Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation in partnership with Museums for All, a signature access program of the Institute of Museum and Library Services, administered by the Association of Children’s Museums, is offering free admission to those receiving food assistance (SNAP Benefits) in order to increase accessibility of high-quality museum learning resources and encourage people of all backgrounds to visit museums regularly and build a lifelong appreciation of museums.

Museums for All helps expand access to museums and also raise public awareness about how museums in the U.S. are reaching their entire communities. More than 850 institutions participate in the initiative.
