The Museum membership is actually designed to offer maximum flexibility and access to a variety of events and activities.

Take advantage of our rich and varied program, including new exhibitions every season. Have you ever wanted to try one of the courses offered at the Museum’s School of Art?

As a Member, you’re entitled to a discount on the registration fee. You’ll also enjoy reduced rates on lectures at the MMFA and films at the Cinéma du Musée.

On average, two or three visits are enough to make membership more advantageous than purchasing single admission tickets. Membership also includes benefits such as exclusive invitations to cultural events.

Psst—a cultural outing to the Museum is the perfect way to spend a rainy day!

Of course! However, be advised that some events require membership to attend. The SOLO and DUO packages are our most popular and are ideal for your cultural outings.
