COMMUNITY ACCESS PROGRAMS

MoPOP has a number of programs that provide free or reduced-cost entry to the museum and is committed to providing access to families and individuals who experience barriers to entry through partnerships, discount programs, and education initiatives.

MoPOP participates in the Museums for All program, a national initiative that encourages families of all backgrounds to visit museums regularly.

Individuals and families on food stamps presenting an Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card or a Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) card can receive free admission during normal operating hours for up to ten individuals. The special exhibit Hidden Worlds: The Films of LAIKA is included in this program.

Participation details:

• We accept current EBT/WIC cards for the program from any state
• You must have your card when you arrive at the admissions desk at the museum to participate
• No additional identification is required

Unfortunately, as of now, individuals and families participating in the Museums for All program cannot redeem tickets online to reserve an entrance time. Please bring your card to MoPOP’s East Entrance on 5th Avenue North for admittance to the museum.

COMMUNITY ACCESS PARTNERS (CAP)

MISSION

In keeping with MoPOP’s core value of open arms and radical hospitality, the CAP program is committed to overcoming access barriers to the museum through in-depth, intentional partnerships with organizations that strive to serve their communities.
 

TARGET POPULATION

 CAP serves the following populations.

• Indigenous peoples
• Refugees and immigrants, including undocumented immigrants

PARTNER BENEFITS

Organizations only need to apply to the program once, and if admitted, will be considered ongoing partners; however, partners will need to renew their benefits annually.

As a baseline, all partners will receive the following:

• A number of free individual tickets to the museum for use by anyone in the organization’s client base and by accompanying staff members
• Up to 2 free group visits for a minimum of 10 and maximum of 90 people

Benefits last a year starting from when the partner is accepted, and do not roll over.
Additional benefits are customized to the organization’s needs and arranged between partner and museum staff.
These may include:

• Interactive museum experiences (e.g. tours, workshops, art activities, etc.)
• Funding for transportation to the museum
• Free passes to public programs and events (e.g. Sound Off!, Pop+, Movies at MoPOP, etc.)

*Organizations are also welcome to request a free, one-time group visit to the museum.
