Q: What are the basic benefits of membership?
A: Basic membership benefits include unlimited admission for two adults; a subscription to the members’ magazine; Treasures, invitations to member previews and receptions; a 10 percent discount in the Museum Store, 20 percent on Member Appreciation Days; and reduced admission to lectures, films, and special events. Exclusive benefits are available at higher levels.
Q: How many membership cards should I have?
A: All membership levels come with two membership cards. If you are a Student, Teacher, Out of Region, Active, or Family & Friends level member, each membership card admits one person. If you are a Contributor, Donor, Sponsor, or Patron level member, each membership card admits two people. These admission privileges apply only to your Asian Art Museum membership.
Q: How long is a membership at the Asian Art Museum valid?
A: A membership is valid for one calendar year from the day of joining. Members receive an annual renewal notice from the museum when it is time to renew one’s membership.
Q: Can I give my membership cards to family and friends to use at the Museum?
A: Membership cards are non-transferable. The membership cardholder must be present in order for the member guest to receive free admission on the guest card.
Q: What is a reciprocal membership?
A: Members at the $125.00 Contributor level and above receive reciprocal membership benefits as part of both the North American and Western Reciprocal membership programs. Reciprocal membership entitles members to benefits at more than 250 museums nationwide. Reciprocal privileges may be restricted on special ticketed exhibitions. Please note that while each membership card at the Contributor level or higher at the Asian Art Museum admits two people per card, reciprocal admission at other museums admits one person per membership card.
*If you are a reciprocal member from other museums visiting the Asian Art Museum, admission is one person per membership card. Please always bring both membership cards with you for your visit.
Q: What do I do if I have lost my membership card?
A: You can request a one time replacement membership card at no charge. Please call 415.581.3740, e-mail us at members@asianart.org, or visit us at the Membership Desk at the Museum to request a new card. Please let us know if you need one or both membership cards replaced at the time of your request.
Q: How many guests can I bring to member receptions?
A: Member receptions are special opportunities for members to enjoy a catered fare and enjoy exhibitions after Museum hours. Admission to receptions is limited to two people, regardless of one’s membership level. Please check your invitation for additional event details.
Q: How can I keep up with member events and Asian Art Museum programs?
A: The Asian Art Museum maintains a current calendar of events with up-to-date program information or visit the Member Events page.
