Museums Aotearoa: the voice of museums and galleries

MA membership fees are changing

A new funding model

A new way of paying membership fees to MA will be in place for 2024.

From January we will tie membership fees (for institutional members) to the number of people working in your organisation at $230 per person but with generous volume discounts.

Use our online calculator to work out the fees and tell us how much to invoice you for.

Fees for individual members have increased to $385.

Increase staff benefits and make the most of volume discounts.
You tell us how much to invoice you for membership fees – it's your choice.
Your fees fund the work of your membership organisation that works for the entire sector.
Read our Impact Report to see the value MA provides to all museums and galleries.
