Membership FAQs
Do I need to book for exhibitions?
No, just show your Membership Card and proof of ID (such as a bank card or driving licence) at the door. You do not need to pre-book or queue (except at extremely busy times).
The David Bowie is exhibition is on until 11 August but please be aware that it is expected to be very busy every day and we can't guarantee entry for Members during the last two weeks. We strongly advise that Members visit the show before August.
Can I bring a friend with me?
If your Membership includes a guest, it will say ‘plus guest’ on your card and you can bring a friend to exhibitions and Members’ previews. If not, you can add a guest for just £15 extra per year. Call us on 020 7942 2271 to add a guest to your Membership.

All Members can bring up to four family children, aged 12-18 (under 12s are free), to exhibitions and Members' Previews.
