DALLAS (AP) – While viewing artwork can be culturally enriching, one Dallas museum is making sure the experience doesn’t cost people a thing.

The Dallas Museum of Art this week is rolling out a new program that will offer free admission as well as free memberships.

With the new program, dubbed “DMA Friends & Partners,” members will get a card to track their participation. They’ll then earn credits to convert to rewards including access to special programs.

The museum, which had a free general admissions policy up until 2001, will still charge for special exhibitions and some events.

Museum officials say the return to free admission is made possible by generous donations from individuals, corporations, and foundations.

Water Lilies (or Nymphéas) is a series of approximately 250 oil paintings by French Impressionist Claude Monet (1840–1926). The paintings depict Monet's flower garden at Giverny and were the main focus of Monet's artistic production during the last 30 years of his life. Pictured here, Monet's 'Reflections of Clouds on the Water-Lily Pond,' circa 1920, is from the Water Lilies series and is in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.
