Museum Access Media

Museum Access lives at the intersection of entertainment, education, and inspiration. We believe in the power of museums to ignite the imagination and inspire learning by opening their doors to ALL Americans, regardless of age, income, ethnicity, or geographic location. Our mission is to increase learning and appreciation of these national treasures.
