Free Entry to Heritage Sites with Membership!

Below is just a very abbreviated list, submitted by members of US/ICOMOS and other ICOMOS National Committees, of sites and museums that rewarded the ICOMOS card holder with free or discounted entry.  US/ICOMOS collects membership dues beginning in June and in the fall submits our roster of International members to the ICOMOS Secretariat in Paris, where the cards are printed. The ICOMOS Card is then distributed to US/ICOMOS International members in January and are valid for the entire calendar year.  A portion of the International membership dues are forwarded to the ICOMOS Secretariat to support their efforts.

Please note that, while US/ICOMOS cannot guarantee these sites/museums will honor the card, our members have reported success gaining entry with the card in the past.
