Today marks the first day of National Museum Month. This means, amongst other things, that it’s the first day of Bank of America’s Museums on Us! program. This program allows free access to 56 cultural institutions (19 in New York) – and to this day stands as the only nice thing that BOA has ever done for us cardholders.

Here’s the deal: if you are a Bank of America or MBNA cardholder, you will be able to get in to some museums admission free, all month (with one guest). The New York museums are: Brooklyn Botanic Garden, Children’s Museum of Manhattan, El Museo del Barrio, International Center of Photography, Museum of Moving Image, P.S.1 Contemporary Arts Center, Rubin Museum of Art, Guggenheim Museum, The Jewish Museum, The New York Botanical Garden.
