Now, there is one extra benefit of your new citizenship.  The Boston Museum of Fine Arts (MFA) has just started to offer a special free one year membership to all new citizens.

The MFA is one of the  most popular museums in Boston, and it’s one of the largest museums in the country – that the whole family can enjoy.  Usually one visit to the museum would cost $25.  With this membership, there are free visits for a family for one year.  (You can try exploring the museum online)

If you are not a citizen, or have been a citizen for more than one year, you can still visit for less money by:

• Visiting at free times (Wednesdays from 4 to 10PM) or on free days (July 21st; October 9th)
• or getting a museum pass from many area libraries including Framingham ($10 instead of $25)

If you are a new citizen, here is more information (including in other languages):

To get your membership: Just come to the Museum, show a copy or photo of your naturalization certificate at any ticket desk within one year of your swearing-in, and you will get a free Museum membership for one year.

MFA Citizens membership includes:

• Special in-person welcome packet and introduction to the Museum
• Free admission to the Museum for one year for two adults and unlimited children (age 17 and under)
• Free MFA mobile guide rental for MFA Citizens members (available in 9 languages)
