CLEVELAND — The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is making it easier for low-income families to visit the museum.
On Monday morning, the Rock Hall said in a news release it was joining Museums for All, a signature access program of the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), administered by the Association of Children’s Museums (ACM). The focus is to encourage people of all backgrounds to visit museums regularly, building lifelong museum-going habits.
"The program supports those receiving food assistance (SNAP) benefits visiting the Rock Hall for a fee of $1 per person, up to four people, with the presentation of a SNAP Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card. Similar free and reduced admission is available to eligible members of the public at more than 850 museums across the country. Museums for All is part of the Rock Hall’s commitment to seek, include, and welcome all audiences," the news release said.
More than 850 institutions from across the U.S. and the Virgin Islands participate in the Museums for All initiative, including art museums, children’s museums, science centers, botanical gardens, zoos, history museums, and more.
