‘Museums for All’ to Increase Access to Louisiana Children’s Museum

NEW ORLEANS – The Louisiana Children’s Museum has joined Museums for All, a signature access program of the Institute of Museum and Library Services, administered by the Association of Children’s Museums, to encourage people of all backgrounds to visit museums regularly and build lifelong museum-going habits.

LCM will now offer general admission to the Museum for a minimal fee of $2 per person (for up to four people) with the presentation of a SNAP Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card and a photo ID. Similar free and reduced admission rates are available to eligible members of the public at more than 700 participating museums across the country. Louisiana Children’s Museum is the first museum in the Greater New Orleans Area to offer the Museums for All financial accessibility program.

“All children benefit from the discovery and learning that happens through play at the Louisiana Children’s Museum,” said Julia Bland, CEO of LCM. “Our location in the heart of New Orleans City Park and a greatly reduced admission fee for families who receive public assistance makes LCM and its many resources accessible to a greater number of children and families,” added Bland.
