As part of our ongoing Greening the Abbe campaign, we are always considering the sustainability of the Abbe and we have identified concrete changes that we can make to reduce our carbon footprint. One of these changes is eliminating membership cards. Going forward, all members will simply check-in at the Admissions desk upon arriving at the Museum and a Guest Services Associate will use our membership database to locate your details. Only members who have chosen the to receive free admission to museums in the North American Reciprocal Museums (NARM) Program as an Additional Abbe Benefit (only applicable with certain membership levels) will receive an Abbe membership card.
