We’re excited to share that The Dennos is a proud member of the Museum Travel Alliance—a network of over 120 leading museums offering exclusive, curator-led travel experiences around the globe.

digital membership cards

In partnership with Cuseum, we launched digital membership cards in March 2022 which can be downloaded and saved to your smartphone. Your digital membership card is unique to your membership and displays your name, membership level, expiration date, your benefits, and other museum information on the back. It’s exactly the same as your current card, but much more eco-friendly and more difficult to lose! It will update automatically when your membership information changes.

  • Please plan for up to 5 business days for your digital membership card to be processed and sent to your phone.
