Accessibility at the MAH

Suggested Admission

The MAH believes art, history, and cultural resources should be accessible to everyone within our community. To encourage visitation, the MAH has implemented a pay-what-you-wish policy. Admission includes access to three floors of galleries and a rooftop sculpture garden. Everyone is welcome to enjoy our space and will not be turned away for lack of funds.

Your admission fee supports our exhibitions, programs, collections, and publications.

Suggested admission prices are:

• $10-General
• $8-Seniors/Students/Teachers/Veterans
• FREE-MAH Members, Children under 5

*The suggested admission price applies to daily admission and is not applicable to special ticketed exhibitions or events.
