American Museum of Natural History announces free admission for low-income New Yorkers

The American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) in New York City has launched the Discoverer program, offering free admission and educational programming to low-income New Yorkers who receive Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits. The program, developed with NYC's Department of Cultural Affairs and Human Resources Administration, allows SNAP beneficiaries to bring up to four guests and reserve advance tickets online, with membership renewable annually. Nearly 1.8 million city residents rely on SNAP, and the initiative aims to remove financial barriers to museum access.
