Polk Museum of Art is proud to announce that it is offering free admission to active duty military families all summer as a part of the Blue Star Museums program. Blue Star Museums runs from Memorial Day, May 31 through to Labor Day, September 6, 2010.  The free admission program is available to active duty military and their immediate family members (military ID holder and five immediate family members), which includes active duty Reserve and active duty National Guard. Some special or limited-time museum exhibits may not be included in this free admission program, and families interested in taking advantage of the program should contact the museum they are planning to visit with any questions.

Blue Star Museums is a partnership between the National Endowment for the Arts, Blue Star Families, and more than 600 participating museums across the country. A full list of participating museums can be found at www.arts.gov/bluestarmuseums.
