Due to member and visitor demand I am doing some preliminary research into dual membership programs. Dual membership in this instance would be defined as full membership with two (or more) museums for one fee. (Not reciprocal admission programs that allow only admission, not discounts etc. to the other museum.) I'd also like to learn about programs that involve membership with one institution, yet allow for a limited number of visits (using special passes/tickets etc.) at another museum. My initial thought is that a plan like this would be fiscally unwise, that it would be difficult to administer, and that it would dilute member allegiance. Before I dismiss the idea, I'd like to know if other museums have tried such a plan and if they feel it was a success. If your museum or other museums in your area have participated in such a program, please let me know. Thank you for your help! Cynthia M.
