Get tickets
Reserved tickets are no longer required to visit the Museum, but online tickets can get you into the Museum faster. With your confirmed ticket, you can either present a printout of your reservation or show the reservation electronically on your mobile device, and we’ll check you in and get you on your way!
Business Member visitors will need to reserve tickets via email before their visit. While we have dropped timed ticketing for the general public, all Business Member visitors need to reserve tickets via email before their visit.
Durham Community Days
On Durham Community days, Durham County residents get in free with current proof of residence. All adults must have Durham residency to get in free; each adult can bring up to five children. Guests without current proof of residency will need to pay for tickets at check-in.
