If you are a Bank of America or Merrill Lynch cardholder, take note…
You might have read about the Museums on Us program that offers Bank of America/Merrill Lynch bank cardholders FREE admission to the Fort Worth Science & History Museum, The Dallas Museum of Art and the Dallas Museum of Nature & Science on the first Saturday and Sunday of each month (that would be this weekend ~ January 7 & 8).
Did you know that this same FREE admission offer is available at over 150 other cultural venues from coast to coast?
As part of Museums on Us, cultural institutions in 91 cities across the country open their doors for FREE to bank cardholders on the first full weekend of each month. FREE access includes some of the country’s best cultural institutions like the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, Museum of Contemporary Art in Miami ~ the Houston Zoo is also participating.
In case you find yourself in one of the participating cities the 1st Saturday and Sunday of the month in 2012, you might want to include one of these spots in your schedule. Check out the complete list of participating venues here.

Is Bank Of America part of Merrill Lynch now? We have a Bank Of America credit card, so is this okay to use for free entry? Or does it have to be a BOA/Merril Lynch combined card?
(sorry if that was confusing! ha ha)
LOL! :) I don’t know all the business ends-and-outs, but Bank of America and Merrill Lynch have merged companies. To answer your main question, yes ~ all you need to do is show your bank of america card (1 free entry per card). Apparently there are Merrill Lynch bank/credit cards that will work for this promo, too (these would also earn 1 free entry per card). Be sure and bring your ID that matches your credit/bank card, as they will likely check to make sure they match.
Which museum are you going to? Have fun!
