MEMBERSHIP

Join Us

 

Join the Palo Alto Museum today and help bring stories of Palo Alto and change to life. As a member, you’ll enjoy meaningful benefits from day one—unlimited free admission, exclusive exhibition previews, and valuable discounts on Museum store purchases, café food, and public programs.

Your membership does more than provide great benefits. Your tax-deductible membership supports engaging exhibitions, dynamic events, hands-on experiences, and education programs that inspire the next generation.

As one of our founding members, you are helping build the Museum before our grand opening in April 2027. In appreciation of your early support and belief in our vision, your membership will be extended through April 2028 so you can enjoy a full year of benefits once the Museum is fully open.
