Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum Becomes First in Dallas to Join Museums for All, Announces Access Program for Low-Income Families

DALLAS (September 29, 2021) — Today, the Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum announced that it has joined Museums for All, a signature access program of the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), administered by the Association of Children’s Museums (ACM), to encourage people of all backgrounds to visit museums regularly and build lifelong museum-going habits. Museums for All is part of the Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum’s broad commitment to seek, include, and welcome all audiences.

“We are excited to join Museums for All as the first museum in Dallas to participate in this wonderful program,” said Mary Pat Higgins, DHHRM President and CEO. “We look forward to seeing more members of the DFW community visit the Museum and learn about our mission to teach the history of the Holocaust and advance human rights to combat prejudice, hatred, and indifference.”

Museums for All helps expand access to museums and raises public awareness about how museums in the U.S. are reaching their entire communities. More than 700 institutions participate in the initiative, including art museums, children’s museums, science centers, botanical gardens, zoos, and history museums. Participating museums are located in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. Virgin Islands.

Visitors to the Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum can present their SNAP EBT card to a Museum Experience Associate at the Guest Services Desk to receive admission at $3.00 per person, for up to four people, beginning Friday, October 1, 2021.

About the Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum
The mission of the Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum is to teach the history of the Holocaust and advance human rights to combat prejudice, hatred, and indifference. Initially conceived in 1977 by local Holocaust survivors, the institution now resides in a brand-new facility in Dallas’ Historic West End where visitors experience a deeper immersion into human and civil rights, their centrality to our democracy, and their vital importance in preventing events like those of the Holocaust from happening again. The 55,000-square-foot permanent home covers three floors, and the main exhibition includes four wings: Orientation Wing, Holocaust / Shoah Wing, Human Rights Wing, and Pivot to America Wing.
