All contributing members receive free tickets daily, and Investor, Enthusiast, Supporter, Ambassador, and Patrons’ Circle level members receive additional discounts, reciprocal benefits at partnering museums, and more!

Valuable Discounts

General admission is always free. Mia contributor members receive a 20% discount on exhibition tickets and a 10% discount on purchases in The Store at Mia starting at the Contributor level, as well as savings on talks and classes.
