Memorial Art Gallery Pass

The Mendon Public Library, in partnership with the Memorial Art Gallery, now offers a family pass to the Gallery. With this pass, entrance to the Gallery is $5 for an individual or family. General admission is regularly $7 for adults, $2 for children 6 to 18; and free for children under 5.

According to Debora McDell, Coordinator of Community Programs and Outreach at the Memorial Art Gallery “Museums and libraries both serve similar audiences who share a love for learning, so a partnership that unites art and literature is a perfect match.”

The " Mendon Family Pass circulates for a period of one week. It is available at the Mendon Library, and must be returned to the Mendon Library.

“We were excited to discover that the Memorial Art Gallery makes the Family Pass program available to libraries” said Laurie Guenther, Director of the Mendon Library. “It gives our patrons an opportunity to become acquainted with and explore the wealth of visual treasures and interactive experiences at the Gallery.”
