Enjoy Eight Great Museums for the Price of One

Established in 2009 to help promote the rich and diverse offerings of eight cultural institutions in Fairfield, Westchester, and the Bronx, the Fairfield Westchester Museum Alliance continues to give local families and visitors the opportunity to enjoy eight great museums for the price of one.

Become a member at any of the participating organizations and get free admission at eight neighboring institutions, from the Bronx to Bridgeport. Visitors who are not members of an FWMA organization can request a free same-day pass to all FWMA museums when paying admission at any one of the eight institutions.

The eight FWMA member institutions are: Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum (Ridgefield, CT); Barnum Museum (Bridgeport, CT); Bruce Museum (Greenwich, CT); Hudson River Museum (Yonkers, NY); Hudson Valley Center for Contemporary Art (Peekskill, NY); Katonah Museum of Art (Katonah, NY); Neuberger Museum of Art (Purchase, NY); and Wave Hill (Bronx, NY).

“Each of the FWMA member institutions offers a unique perspective on art and science in the communities they serve,” says Peter C. Sutton, The Susan E. Lynch Executive Director of the Bruce Museum. “Collectively, these eight museums represent an invaluable cultural resource, one we’re all privileged to share.”

The Fairfield Westchester Museum Alliance admission policy comes at no additional cost to members, offering convenience and symbiotic arts enjoyment to all. “This collaboration expands our service for visitors and is an added value for members,” says Tracy Fitzpatrick, Director of the Neuberger Museum of Art. “We want to encourage museum visitors who appreciate the arts to look beyond New York City and their own local borders and enjoy the rich artistic offerings of the greater community.”
