How the 15 mile rule works in Michigan
NARM does not apply within 15 miles of the institution where you hold your membership, and in a state this shape that matters differently depending on where you joined.
- Arab American National Museum members lose 3 of the other 29 places in the state to the exclusion, and keep 26.
- Tri-Cities Historical Museum members lose 4 of the other 29 places in the state to the exclusion, and keep 25.
- Marshall M. Fredericks Sculpture Museum members lose 1 of the other 29 places in the state to the exclusion, and keep 28.
Planning a trip around Michigan
Muskegon is the busiest single base: 5 of the 30 are within 25 miles of it, so one day out covers 17% of the state list. Another 18 sit more than 100 miles away, and the list spans about 236 miles end to end, so the rest is a second trip rather than a detour.
