For 25 years, Bank of America has offered their cardholders free general admission to museums in cities across the United States through their “Museums on Us” program. On the first full weekend of every month, Bank of America customers can receive a free ticket for Saturday or Sunday to more than 200 museums and cultural institutions across the country.
Art and objects of cultural heritage can be lost over time. Conservation of historical works calls attention to our rich diversity. Bank of America supports the arts through partnerships such as the Museums on Us program so that history can be preserved and shared for future generations.

Bellevue Museums
- Bellevue Arts Museum (BAM). A leading destination in the Pacific Northwest to experience art, craft and design. The museum connects people of all ages with extraordinary works by Northwest artists while bringing national and international exhibitions to our community.
Seattle Museums
- Northwest African American Museum. The Museum’s exhibitions and programs feature the visual arts, music, crafts, literature, and history of African Americans in the Northwest, both those whose route to the new world was through slavery as well as recent immigrants arriving from places such as Somalia, Sudan, and Ethiopia.
- Seattle Art Museum (SAM). SAM’s collections, special exhibitions and programs feature art from around the world and build bridges between cultures and centuries. Visit SAM and experience a museum that is as much a part of Seattle’s landscape and personality as the coffee, rain, mountains, Pike Place Market and the Space Needle.
- Wing Luke Museum of the Asian Pacific American Experience. The only pan-Asian Pacific American museum in the nation. Located in Seattle’s vibrant Chinatown-International District, the site includes the very hotel where countless immigrants first found a home, a meal, and refuge in America. “The Wing” is one of the few places that can truly give you a new perspective on what it means to be American. The Wing is a National Park Service Affiliated Area and a Smithsonian Institution Affiliate.
Spokane Museums
- Northwest Museum of Arts & Culture (MAC). Celebrating its Centennial in 2016, the regional museum for eastern Washington, northern Idaho, and western Montana is the steward of significant regional history and art, including one of the pre-eminent collections of Plateau culture in the United States. Historic 1898 Campbell House is the museum’s largest artifact and a favorite attraction for visitors. The MAC is a Smithsonian Institution Affiliate.
Tacoma Museums
- Tacoma Art Museum (TAM). Since opening its doors in 1935, TAM has built an impressive permanent collection that features mostly works of art by Northwest artists such as Tacoma-native Dale Chihuly’s contemporary glass pieces, as well as timeless classics from world-renowned artists such as Edgar Degas.
