MEMBER TICKETS
Do Members need to select a time slot for entry?
We know that flexibility is important! We’ve eliminated the need to select a time slot for your visit. Just choose the date and enjoy general admission and anytime entry to the ticketed exhibition of your choice. Galleries are cleared 15 minutes prior to closing. Find out more about our ticket policies.
How many Member tickets can I reserve?
Your Membership level determines how many complimentary tickets you are entitled to per visit, as outlined below. If you’d like to bring more guests than your Membership level allows, you can purchase additional full-price timed tickets when reserving or upgrade your Membership to a level that includes additional complimentary tickets. Please note that additional guest tickets cannot be purchased for Member Mornings.
Your Membership must be current on the date of your visit in order to reserve your tickets. If your Membership expires before that date, you’ll need to renew your Membership before completing your reservation.
Do I need to book tickets in advance to visit the Museum?
We strongly encourage Members to reserve tickets in advance and skip the line at the Member Services Desk. A limited number of same-day tickets are available at Member Services on a first-come, first-served basis.
What happens when I arrive?
If you reserved a Member ticket online, make your way to the ticketed exhibition. A staff member will scan your ticket at the exhibition entrance.
If you reserved a General Admission ticket online, make your way to the Admissions Desk, where a staff member will scan your ticket.
Are children required to have tickets to enter?
Yes. Everyone ages 4 and up must have a ticket to enter. If your child doesn’t have a ticket, you will be directed to the Member Services Desk.
All Members at the Dual level and above are entitled to 4 complimentary children’s tickets per visit.
I loved seeing an exhibition and want to return! How many times can Members visit a ticketed exhibition?
As a Member, you’re welcome to visit any exhibition, including ticketed ones, as many times as you’d like, for free!
Can I change my ticket date after I make my reservation?
Yes. Please email membership@brooklynmuseum.org or tickets@brooklynmuseum.org with your name and new desired date. Exchange is based on availability.
Can I give my ticket to someone else?
Member tickets are nontransferable, so if you’re unable to attend, a friend or family member cannot use your complimentary tickets. If you cannot use your reserved tickets, email membership@brooklynmuseum.org or call 718.501.6326 to cancel your order.
Tickets are sold out online, but I’m a Member. Are there additional tickets for Members?
We’ll have a limited number of same-day tickets available at the Member Services Desk on a first-come, first-served basis but can’t guarantee availability during peak times. Check out Member Mornings for additional spots on Saturday mornings!
How do I log in to my account to reserve tickets?
Members can log in to their account online by choosing the “Member Login” prompt and using the email address and password associated with their Membership.
To set up your account and password for the first time, select the “Forgot Your Password” prompt to receive an email confirming your account details.
Each Membership can be associated with only one email address, which is the login used to reserve Member tickets and access other discounts. This means that Memberships with two cardholders can only have one login email address. To update the email address associated with your Membership, email membership@brooklynmuseum.org or call 718.501.6326 (Monday–Friday, 9 am–5 pm). Any changes to your login will take effect after one full business day.
I’m getting an error message on the ticketing site. What should I do?
If you’re a Member and experiencing an issue with your ticketing account, email membership@brooklynmuseum.org or call 718.501.6326 (Monday–Friday, 9 am–5 pm).
If you’re not a Member, email tickets@brooklynmuseum.org or call 718.501.6484.
