Museums for All is a way to broaden a museum’s visitor base, and reach out to underserved communities. A museum visit can inspire the development of new skills and interests, and ignite creativity and enrich social connections. Museums for All will help expand access to museums and also raise public awareness about how museums in the U.S. are reaching their entire communities. By addressing financial and logistical barriers to visitation, Museums for All also aspires to be an effective strategy for mitigating the social and academic barriers individuals face when they are not exposed to high quality museum experiences.

Please note, all official Museums for All communications will be sent from a Museums for All, Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), or Association of Children's Museums (ACM) email account.

This program is amazing! It gave us a chance to show my daughter a fun time that was affordable on my single parent income. Thank you!

This has been a great program. It has been fun to share with families who are hesitant to bring their children to our museum, but once finding out about [Museums for All], their faces light up and share that excitement with their family as they tour our museum.
