When you join the members of the Historic New Orleans Collection, you support internationally renowned exhibitions, special lectures and symposia, high-quality publications, and vital educational programs. See the outline below of the benefits available at various levels of membership, including benefits such as exclusive invitations to opening receptions for new exhibitions. Memberships at the Founder Family level and above include benefits for up to two adults and any children under 18 residing in a single household, or for one member and a guest. Please note membership is non-transferable.

By supporting the Historic New Orleans Collection at the $100 or greater level, in addition to the many benefits you will receive from HNOC, you can enjoy member privileges at other leading museums throughout the United States, Canada, and beyond thanks to HNOC’s membership in the North American Reciprocal Museum (NARM) program. Upon presentation of your membership card from HNOC, validated with a NARM sticker, you will receive free admission during museum hours as well as discounts on special events and gift shop merchandise.

You may charge your membership to your MasterCard, Visa, American Express, or Discover credit card via your My HNOC account. For questions or to join by phone, please contact the Office of Development and Community Relations at (504) 598-7109.
