Bentley Library is thrilled to announce a new offering in our Museum Pass Program! As you may have heard back in June, Harvard Art Museums changed their admission policies and became free to all. That change in policy allowed us to reallocate the money we had been using for our membership to another area attraction. We are excited to formally announce that Bentley students, staff, and faculty can now reserve passes to the New England Botanic Garden at Tower Hill. These passes will admit 2 people at 50% off the general admission price.
