General Membership FAQs

I reserved a museum ticket for myself, but now I would like to bring a guest. How do I reserve an additional discounted guest ticket?

First, please sign in as a member. If you are signed in, you will receive an automatic discount on general admission tickets. Visit our general admission ticket page to purchase guest tickets. Please be sure to select the same day and time as your ticket – guests with a discounted ticket must be accompanied by a member.

What does my membership fund?

The money from membership goes directly to our Operating Income, which funds the day-to-day operations of the museum. In other words, it helps to keep our lights on!

When should I expect to receive my membership cards?

Your membership cards will arrive approximately three weeks from the day your membership is processed. If you would like to visit MAG but have not yet received your card, simply present your photo ID at the Admission Desk.

How do I obtain a replacement membership card?

Please contact the Membership Office at memberperks@mag.rochester.edu or 585-276-8939 to request a replacement card. We will replace membership cards up to 2 months before expiration. To visit MAG without your membership card, simply present your photo ID at the Admission Desk.

How do I update my contact information?

Please contact the Membership Office to update your email, address, or phone number. Keeping your information updated ensures you receive all of the latest news and benefits of your membership!

Is my membership tax-deductible?

As of March 1, 2013, memberships to the University of Rochester Memorial Art Gallery are fully deductible for income tax purposes to the extent provided by law.  You should receive a receipt from the University of Rochester (separate from your membership cards) indicating this approximately one week after your membership is processed. Please consult your tax adviser.

How many named members can be on the Individual + Guest membership?

Only one member can be named and only one card will be issued for the Individual + Guest membership, but the member may bring one guest on each visit.

Do you offer a senior discount on membership?

No, we do not offer a discount on memberships for seniors.

Do you offer a membership discount for University of Rochester employees and students?

Current University of Rochester employees and students with a valid ID receive a 50% discount on Individual, Individual + Guest, or Family/Grandparent memberships. Please sign up online or at the Admissions Desk. This discount does not apply to gift memberships.

Do you offer a membership discount for college students?

Full-time college students with a valid ID receive a 50% discount on Individual, Individual + Guest, or Family/Grandparent memberships at the Admissions desk.

What levels of membership receive reciprocity through the North American Reciprocal Program participating institutions?

All Reciprocal and above levels receive reciprocity through the North American Reciprocal Program.

How many patron preview party tickets do I get? Can I invite or bring guests not on my membership? Can I pay for additional tickets?

Patron members are welcome to bring guests with them to patron preview parties. The number of free tickets for each level will vary depending on the event and will be announced on the event registration website. Unlike in the past, you cannot purchase additional tickets.
