Membership

Members provide crucial support for the Museum's exhibitions, educational programs, and film series. Members enjoy benefits such as discounts at the Museum shop, reduced-price and free tickets to Block Cinema, and invitations to lectures, special film events, and private tours. Block supporters can also train to work as a volunteer docent at the Museum.

To become a member, please print and send in a membership form (PDF) by either faxing or mailing it to the Museum or call the Membership Hotline directly at 847.491.7540. You may also join at the Museum anytime during open hours.
