M&T Bank’s sponsorship promotes access to the museum through free admissions for local children and families.
BUFFALO, N.Y. — The Buffalo Museum of Science has announced a new initiative with M&T Bank. The M&T Learn Together Admissions program will offer free admission for guests.
The launch of the program is possible through access programs including Museums for All, Arts Access, and Check It Out Passes available through local library systems.
BMS said they had a significant surge in participation in its free admission programs in 2024, with a 179% increase compared to previous years. Nearly 7,000 admissions were covered by the Museum’s free programs in 2024.
“We’re proud to offer free admissions programs that provide opportunities to guests who might not otherwise have the financial means to explore our exhibits and engage with our talented team members,” Gary Siddall, President and CEO of the Buffalo Museum of Science said. “The joy of discovering science and the appreciating diversity of our natural world should be accessible to everyone, and M&T Learn Together Admissions contribute to our mission to inspire the next generation of scientists, STEM leaders, and environmental advocates.”
Through the program, BMS will be able to extend free access to its exhibits and special events, such as the 12 Months of Science series, which includes daily science stage shows, floor demonstrations, and themed activities running throughout 2025.
The free admission programs cover general access to the Museum’s four floors of permanent exhibits. Some restrictions may apply to special events or temporary exhibits.
