Blue Star Museums is a national partnership among Blue Star Families, the National Endowment for the Arts, and museums across the country. Leadership support has been provided by MetLife Foundation through Blue Star Families. Their kick off event is May 21 and then the program begins for all active duty and their families on Memorial Day.
Blue Star Museums first launched in the summer of 2010 as a way for museums to offer their appreciation to military families and enable them to enjoy the nation's cultural heritage. Currently, there are more than one million active duty military in the United States, and an estimated 900,000 children whose parents have served in multiple deployments. Blue Star Museums in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and American Samoa took part in the initiative, including 627 new museums this year. Last summer's 1,882 participating museums are more than triple the 600 museums that launched Blue Star Museums in the summer of 2010.
The 2013 program starts May 27, 2013 and runs through September 2, 2013.
