UMass Amherst has arranged a membership program with the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, providing free access to one of the most comprehensive art museums in the world. Effective immediately, students (undergraduate, graduate and continuing education), faculty and staff on the Amherst and Mount Ida campuses with a valid ID will have free admission to the museum.

Additionally, students with a valid ID are eligible for a 10 percent discount on purchases made in MFA Museum shops, as well as $5 tickets for regularly priced films, lectures and concerts, and $10 tickets for Ruth and Carl J. Shapiro Celebrity Lectures and special film screenings. Tickets are available day-of, in-person only, pending availability. A valid student ID is required, with a limit of one ticket per ID, and some programs are not included.
