The program supports those receiving food assistance (SNAP) benefits visiting Mobile Museum of Art for free general admission per person, up to four people, with the presentation of a SNAP Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card. Similar free and reduced admission is available to eligible members of the public at more than 1,350 museums across the country.

Mobile Museum of Art joins other Mobile institutions that participate in Museums for All, including the History Museum of Mobile, Mobile Botanical Gardens, University of South Alabama Archaeology Museum, and the Historic Oakleigh House Museum.
Museums for All helps expand access to museums and also helps raise public awareness about how museums in the U.S. are reaching their entire communities.
