We list 76 museums in New York that take a NARM membership, across 47 towns and cities. The largest clusters are New York, Buffalo and Syracuse.
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.
New York is the busiest single base: 23 of the 76 are within 25 miles of it, so one day out covers 30% of the state list. Another 40 sit more than 100 miles away, and the list spans about 293 miles end to end, so the rest is a second trip rather than a detour.
Because the benefit is built for travel, the states next door are usually where the card earns its keep.
