Art that inspires and engages, hands-on science that excites and educates, history and culture that bring past and present Minnesota to life – all of these and more are waiting for you at your metro regional public library!
Visit your library and check out a museum!
The Museum Adventure Pass is a program between the Metropolitan Library Service Agency (MELSA), an alliance of 103 public libraries in the seven-county Twin Cities metro and more than 20 local arts and cultural organizations, provides area library card holders free passes to participating local museums, cultural centers and historical sites. The program is designed to enhance the learning experience for people of all ages through books and other library materials, and to provide access to arts and cultural organizations.

The Mueum Adventure Pass: How it works.
When you visit your local library, you will see a Museum Adventure Pass display. There will be five laminated check out passes for each location. Choose one and then bring your pass up to the clerk. She will scan it and give you a pass for the museum. You will need to use it within the week, otherwise it expires one week after check out.You can check out one pass per week per card. The museum admission pass is handed in at the box office of the participating organization for free admission for two or four people. Each museum adventure pass expires within one week of the checkout date. Minnesota homeschooling just got more affordable and fun, thanks to Macy’s, participating museums and your local library!
