This card gives you free or reduced entry to galleries and museums.
If you’re an art or museum lover, you’ll know it can be expensive to see all the major exhibitions, especially in London. The National Art Pass is a pretty good way to indulge your hobby for less.

How much is a National Art Pass?
It’ll cost you £83 for the year, reduced to £62.25 if you pay by Direct Debit. Buy a Double membership and it’s £124 a year or £93 via Direct Debit.
Is it any good?
The bigger galleries and museums will probably offer you 50% off with the pass, while smaller ones might give you free entry.
Andy had one before and didn’t quite use it enough. But if you frequently visit galleries and museums, it’s well worth considering.
Where can you use it?
There are hundred of places – from the National Gallery to Tate Liverpool to HMS Belfast. You can search for your favourites or places near you on the National Art Pass website.

Under 30s discount
If you’re aged under 30 years old you can get an annual pass for £50. (Or £37.50 if you pay by Direct Debit).

Can I get a carer in with a pass or do I need 2 passes
Hi Andy. Art fund trial pass appears to have expired- page no longer active:(
Hi Andy
Great tips! But when I clicked through your link for the 3 months for £15 Art Pass Trial, it took me to a page that only offers a 3-months free trial for London Sites in the Art Pass – see https://www.artfund.org/offer/letsdolondon. Are you able to supply a link that gives 3 months for £15 for all Art Pass sites, not just for London? If so, please share!
Thanks heaps
Mia
It’ll work for all listed venues, it’s just a targetted advert for London.
