Museum Membership

Institutional memberships are for museums and receive the following member benefits:

    • Listing in the member museums directory on the OMA website
    • Discount rate for up to five staff members (paid staff, volunteers, or board members) to all OMA events including the annual conference, workshops, and webinars; and free access to recordings of past webinars
    • Free, unlimited postings to the OMA job board
    • Access to member forum
    • Your museum photographs featured on the OMA website and promotional materials
    • Promotion of your museum events in the monthly OMA newsletter and on OMA's social media pages 

      OMA Institutional members should qualify as a museum by the definition of the International Council of Museums: "A museum is a non-profit, permanent institution in the service of society and its development, open to the public, which acquires, conserves, researches, communicates and exhibits the tangible and intangible heritage of humanity and its environment for the purposes of education, study and enjoyment."

      Beginning March 1, 2026, memberships will be prorated for those who join later in the year.

      OMA memberships renew annually in January. With this new prorated model, anyone joining after March 1 will pay a reduced membership rate based on the month they join, making it easier and more affordable to become part of our community at any time of year.

      Then, each January, members will simply renew at the full annual membership rate along with the rest of the membership base.

      If a new membership application is submitted before March 1, the full annual membership fee will apply for that year.

      We’re excited to offer this added flexibility and accessibility to new members.
