Members at the Dadaist level and higher receive a quantity of guest passes each year. Each guest pass may be used for

one year after the issue date. Guest passes can be used for complimentary admission to special exhibitions. However,
they cannot be used for admission to members-only previews and do not entitle the user to a museum store discount or
other membership privileges.

Membership cards are not transferable; only the cardholder is entitled to use the card. The primary member must be
present in order for "guest of" cardholders to receive free admission.
What should I do if I lose my membership card?
Please visit the membership desk in the museum lobby or email the Membership Department at membership@thedali.org to
request a replacement card. You can continue to take advantage of your membership benefits by presenting a photo ID
at the membership desk. A replacement fee of $5.00 will be assessed for lost or stolen cards.

Many corporations have matching gift programs for their employees, retirees and board members that will double and in
some cases triple the portion of your gift that is tax deductible. This extra support is very much appreciated. Please
contact your Employer to obtain and submit an appropriate matching gift form.
