The Harvard Museums of Science & Culture (HMSC) annually provides Ed Portal members two free passes, which can be picked up at the Ed Portal's front desk. Explore the Harvard Museum of the Ancient Near East, the Harvard Museum of Natural History, the Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology, or the Collection of Historical Scientific Instruments!

The Harvard Art Museum provides free admission to all visitors! More information about current exhibitions can be found on the Harvard Art Museums' website (plus information about making advance reservations which are available but not required).

The American Repertory Theater (A.R.T.) provides a limited number of community cards for Ed Portal members to purchase discounted tickets to select A.R.T. produced shows throughout the year. Each card allows members to purchase one ticket to an A.R.T. show for $5. Limit of two cards per current member per year. Members may request a community card by completing this form. To complete the request, members will need to travel to the Ed Portal after completing the form.

If you choose to use your benefit to attend more than one A.R.T. production, you must complete a separate form for each production you wish to attend. Community cards are available only to active Ed Portal members, must be reserved in advance, and must be picked up from the Ed Portal during normal business hours. Community cards are limited and offered on a first-come, first-served basis.

2026-2027 Season A.R.T. Shows:

• 1972 - Playing Oct 27 through Nov 22, 2026
  Inspired by true stories of these hidden heroes, this world-premiere rock opera fuels the ongoing fight for personal freedom. 1972 is written by musician-activist Chadwick Stokes of the Boston-based indie bands DISPATCH and State Radio with Jessie Nelson (Waitress, I Am Sam).
• Mexodus - Playing Dec 4, 2026 through Jan 10, 2027
