- Free unlimited general museum admission
- Discounted special exhibition tickets
- Free school field trips with free bus transportation
- Free group visits for seniors on Thursdays, with exclusive programs, and free bus transportation
- Expanded teacher professional development programs
- Curriculum development with school systems
- Expanded community partnerships
