The Baker Museum is proud to join museums across the country in participating in Blue Star Museums, a program offering free admission to active-duty military personnel and up to five family members now through August 31. Presented by the National Endowment for the Arts and Blue Star Families, this initiative invites military families to explore the arts together all summer long. Simply present your military ID at the museum for complimentary entry! We appreciate your service and can’t wait for you to visit. See what’s on view at https://artisnaples.org/baker-museum/ As we present our annual Naples Philharmonic Patriotic Pops concerts this week—a musical salute to our nation’s troops—we are honored to welcome and recognize the military community both onstage and in our galleries.

The Baker Museum is thrilled to celebrate our very first International Museum Day as an accredited institution by the American Alliance of Museums (AAM), and to mark this auspicious occasion, we are offering free museum admission on Sundays all summer long—starting today. Come and share your love of the arts! Achieving AAM accreditation was the result of an intensive, years-long process, and it simply would not have been possible without the dedication and expertise of the people who make it all happen every day. From the hardworking Artis—Naples staff across all departments, to our expert gallery docents and volunteers—and of course, steadfast patrons and art lovers like you—many have played a vital role in meeting the rigorous standards required for accreditation. As we mark this day of recognition for museums and their impact, we invite you to spend some time with us at The Baker Museum. Whether you’re discovering it for the first time or returning for a favorite exhibition, there is always something sure to inspire! Museum hours: Tuesday–Saturday, 10am–4pm; Sunday, Noon–4pm #artisnaples #thebakermuseum #internationalmuseumday #americanallianceofmuseums #AAM #artlovers #freeevent #naplesfl #paradisecoast (fb)
