Even though it was a while ago, I loved the Museum of Modern Art exhibition featuring Tim Burton. It brought together over 700 examples of never-before-seen drawings, paintings, photographs, storyboards, puppets, and costumes from films like Edward Scissorhands, The Nightmare Before Christmas, and Beetlejuice, as well as from little-known personal projects showing his talent as an artist, illustrator, photographer, and writer working in the spirit of Pop Surrealism. But enough about Burton, onto MoMA. As a MoMA member you’re able to enjoy free or discounted admission to the museum’s Adult and Academic Programs as well as wide range of other programs designed exclusively for members, including exhibition previews and shopping discounts. The individuals working to make MoMA’s membership program a success are Member Services Specialists who are responsible for ensuring the happiness of the museum’s patrons.
