Give the gift of Membership

If the answer to your question can't be found in our FAQs please:

• Look at our full list of Membership FAQs.
• Or email the Membership office at friends@britishmuseum.org and we'll aim to respond within five working days or sooner.

• If you opt for Individual Membership plus Guest, you will receive one card which will allow you to bring a guest with you to the special exhibitions and Members’ Room.
• The guest facility is flexible and you can bring a different person with you to enjoy your Membership benefits each time you visit. 
• With an Individual Membership plus Additional Card, you will receive two Membership cards, one for you, and one for your named cardholder.
• Your Additional Cardholder will be able to visit the Museum both with and without the primary Member present. This additional card is non-transferable, and will only allow your additional cardholder into the special exhibitions and Members’ Room. 

Your gift Membership starts immediately after your purchase. If you would like your gift Membership recipients to enjoy Membership benefits straight away, they can bring your confirmation email of your gift purchase and some form of identification to collect their temporary cards from the Membership Desk in the Great Court.

• The Membership card and Welcome Pack will be sent to the Primary Member's address by default.
• If you'd prefer the pack to be sent to you directly, please put C/O and your address under the Primary Member's details.
