Check Out Amazing Museums For Free This Weekend With Bank Of America

Bank Of America Free Museum Dates

One of the most underrated perks out there comes via Bank of America (BOA). Yes, you heard that right, not Chase, Amex or Citi but Bank of America offers a sneaky good card perk. That perk is the Bank of America Museums on Us program. This is a program that has been around several years and gives BOA customers free tickets to select museums. In this article I will go over Bank Of America free museum dates, participating locations and all of the Museums on Us details you need to know.

Update 5/2/26: This weekend is another free museum weekend for Bank of America cardholders.

How Does Museums On Us Work?

You may be thinking, I can free museum tickets? Sign me up! I am right there with you. This is a perk offered to Bank of America, Merrill or Bank of America Private Bank (U.S. Trust) credit card or debit card holders. Yes, a checking account debit card will snag you free access too! Bank of America has worked out a deal with certain museums around the country that give you free access on the first weekend of every month. Remember that only the cardholder gets a free ticket though. However, if each person is your party has a Bank of America card then you can each get a free ticket.

What do you have to do to get this free ticket? You only need to show one of the cards listed above at the ticket desk at one of the museums that participate in the program. Once they see a card with your name on it they will hand over your free ticket. It is really that simple.
