Renew your spirit and yourself—Join the PEM community

Membership offers the freedom and flexibility to visit PEM as often as you wish, for as much time as you want to spend in the galleries, relaxing under the soaring glass roof of the Atrium or watching people go by. With free admission to the museum, the Yin Yu Tang Chinese house and Phillips Library, you’re always ready for the next adventure. In no time you’ll discover a favorite gallery and particular works of art that inspire your own creative spirit. That’s why people become members, to connect with art and the people they love to share it with.
