May is museum month, meaning it’s the perfect time to reflect on what a membership means to any given museum:

This includes support in artifact preservation, the development of exhibits, programs, and events, the development of one of a kind take home items, and more.

It also ensures we can give back to our members.

The Welland Museum is pleased to announce that for the month of May 2024, we’ll be hosting a membership drive. Not only will discounts be available at the lowest annual cost, but we are also introducing a referral program that you can earn rewards through!

You can pick up a Welland Museum membership at https://wellandmuseumshop.square.site/shop/memberships/9 or keep reading to see all the new benefits we have to offer!
