The Library offers passes to a number of museums with collections that relate to areas of study at UMass Dartmouth.

Museum passes are available to current UMass Dartmouth students, faculty and staff. Borrowers must present a valid UMass Pass when picking up a museum pass. (Special borrowers, alumni and Library Associates are not eligible for this program.)

Some passes are very popular, and we occasionally use up our allotment of passes for the most popular museums. You're encouraged to contact the Circulation Desk (508-999-8750) to check availability and make advance reservations.

The library limits reservations to two separate museums at a time, per borrower.

Passes are currently available to the museums listed below. Follow the link to a particular museum for information about exhibits, directions, hours, etc.
