Library card holders in Toronto can now borrow a free pass to visit several of the city's museums, art galleries and other cultural institutions. The passes are good for a family of up to two adults and up to five children (some venues have different admission restrictions). The passes called the Sun Life Financial Museum + Arts Pass can be borrowed from the city's library branches with a valid library card.

AGO Partners in Sun Life Financial Museum Art Pass Program

Some of arts institutions participating in the program include the Art Gallery of Ontario, Bata Shoe Museum, Black Creek Pioneer Village and the Gardiner Museum. The AGO's Executive Director of Public Affairs, Sue Bloch-Nevitte believe it's a wonderful idea.

"We actually were partners with the library in setting up this program and loved the idea as we had been exploring ways to make the AGO more accessible - reducing economic barriers. Art is a wonderful thing, and especially in these troubled economic times we want to introduce as many people as possible to their AGO. Sometimes art and art museums can feel intimidating and rarified, and we also want to break down those barriers."
