If you’re an art or museum lover you’ll know it can be expensive to see all the major exhibitions, especially in London. The National Art Pass is a pretty good way to indulge your hobby for less.

How much is a National Art Pass?
It’ll cost you £79 for the year, reduced to £59.25 if you pay by Direct Debit. Buy a Double membership and it’s £118 a year or £88.50 via Direct Debit.
Is it any good?
The bigger galleries and museums will probably offer you 50% off with the pass, while smaller ones might give you free entry.
I’ve had one before and didn’t quite use it enough. But if you frequently visit galleries and museums, it’s well worth considering.
Where can you use it?
There are hundred of places – from the National Gallery to Tate Liverpool to HMS Belfast. You can search for your favourites or places near you on the National Art Pass website.

You’ll pay £15 and get a three-month pass. You can’t add extra people onto this, so if you want more one you’ll have to take out extra trials in their names.
You can add a plus one for £5.
