MEMBERSHIP E-PAss:

The days of losing or forgetting your membership passes at home are OVER! As of Dec. 1, 2017, the Putnam will not be issuing paper passes to members for their exhibit and movie membership perks. Instead, all passes will be in the form of e-passes and will be issued to their member profile.

When you visit the Putnam, simply tell the ticketing staff that you would like to use your passes, and our staff will have access to them electronically. Any current paper passes you have will still be accepted, but moving forward when you renew your membership, you will be given digital passes.

For all questions pertaining to membership, please contact our Membership Specialist Meia Teague at mteague@putnam.org, or by calling (563) 336-7302.

*Please note that it is $10 per additional child/caregiver per year when purchasing a 2 year membership. 
**Additional payment options available for adding additional children and caregivers.
