The Museums for All Program has created a new opportunity for low-income families to visit museums for only $1 fee at the entrance.

The initiative is a collaboration by the Association of Children’s Museums and the Institute of  Museum and Library Services, and was created to give more families access to local culture and art and to ultimately create a more inclusive environment of visitors.

Participating museums include the Victor Valley Museum, San Bernardino County historic sites, and the San Bernardino County Museum in Redlands. The initiative is sponsored by the San Bernardino County Museum Association and the U.S. Bank.

Families can present an EBT card at entrance and pay only $1 per person.
