Bank of America Offers Access to 250 Museums

As the United States approaches its 250th anniversary, Bank of America (BofA) is stepping up to celebrate the nation’s history by providing its cardholders with free admission to 250 cultural institutions during the July 4th weekend. This initiative is part of BofA's renowned Museums on Us® program, designed to enhance public access to cultural venues across the country.

Celebrating America’s Heritage

During the first weekend of July, eligible BofA, Merrill, and Bank of America Private Bank cardholders can visit any of the 250 participating museums and cultural institutions free of charge. Access extends to various types of venues, from art museums to historical sites, ensuring there’s something for everyone to enjoy and learn about America’s rich history.

Meghan Hughes, the Head of Arts and Heritage at BofA, emphasizes the importance of such experiences:

“Visiting one of these museums is an opportunity to celebrate the people, places, and institutions that have shaped our country and continue to define our communities.”

In addition to free admissions, BofA has initiated several programs to support America 250 celebrations across various locales.
