Not at all! To upgrade or add an affiliate membership, simply call the membership office and we will process your additional payment to upgrade your membership today. Call 803-799-2810.
- What is the duration of membership?
Memberships are good for one year from the day the payment is processed.

Just show your membership card to the visitors services desk for free admission.

- Do I need to be a member of the CMA to join an affinity group?
Yes. Affinity groups are add-ons to our general and premier membership programs.
- I want to purchase a gift membership for someone, how can I do this? What if they have an existing membership, will they get a second membership?
If you wish to give the gift of CMA membership, choose the "Give As Gift" option next to the level you choose to give. If the person receiving the membership is already a member, it will add a year to their existing membership so long as it is the same type of membership. If you’d like more information, please call the membership office at 803-799-2810.
- If I buy a Duo or Trio membership, who can I add as the second or third member?
You may add anyone! Many members designate a spouse, a family member, or a friend. You are also welcome to leave the additional member open and just bring a guest with you each time you come.

The membership office, reachable at 803-799-2810 or membership@columbiamuseum.org, will promptly process all requests for changes in contact information.
