MAGconnect

MAGconnect aims to improve access by bringing members of our community to the museum to enjoy a tour and discover its offerings! Free transportation and admission are provided to local groups and organizations that qualify to participate based on financial, transportation, and other accessibility considerations. Guests are also offered a complimentary return visit pass so that they can visit the museum again with their families and continue to enjoy its collections and exhibitions.
