Looking for affordable hot weather activities the whole family can enjoy? Visit MAG and our neighbor, George Eastman House International Museum of Photography and Film. At the admission desk, request a half-off coupon (available with paid or member’s free admission). Then present the coupon at the Eastman House within seven days for half-price admission. Eastman House visitors heading to MAG will receive the same courtesy.

Blue Star Museums, including MAG, are extending free admission to active duty military personnel and families from Tuesday, June 1 through Sunday, September 5, 2010.

This popular holiday tradition returns for its 16th season. This presentation of more than 100 cleverly designed and decorated gingerbread creations will be the largest yet, on view in a dedicated gallery as well as throughout the historic house. The display features clever confections from professional bakers, families, and community groups. In addition, the National Historic Landmark house is elaborately decorated for the holidays.
