The National Museum of African American History & Culture (NMAAHC) is releasing free, Advance Timed Entry Passes for September 2017 beginning at 9:00 am, tomorrow, June 7.  Timed Passes are released on the first Wednesday of each month.

The NMAAHC is proud to have welcomed approximately 1.7 million visitors, making us one of the most popular cultural destinations in the country.  The museum is working diligently to ensure that as many people as possible can visit while ensuring the safety, security and quality of the visitor experience.

The museum offers several options for obtaining passes:

Online Same-Day Timed Passes: Visitors can obtain passes on the day of their planned visit starting at 6:30 a.m. on the museum’s website, nmaahc.si.edu/sameday.  

Walk-Up Passes: A limited number of walk up passes are available starting at 1 p.m. Monday through Friday. No walk-up passes will be available on weekends due to high visitation. 

Group Passes: To date, we have received more than 55,000 requests for group passes and are working through a long waiting list. The demand for passes is so high that we have temporarily suspended group reservations; we cannot accept requests until further notice. 

October 2017 Advance Timed Entry Passes: Advance Timed Entry Passes for October 2017 will be available online, nmaahc.si.edu, beginning at 9 a.m. Wednesday, July 5.
