A museum is defined as a building, place, or institution devoted to the acquisition, conservation, study, exhibition, and educational interpretation of objects having scientific, historical, or artistic value and/or a building or location that has a name on a sign that includes the word “Museum”.
  3. Only Museums in the United States may be listed for inclusion in this program.
  4. Clubs must pre-register qualified museums and the walk sanction number from the AVA with the administrator for inclusion in this program.
  5. Each museum may only be used once.
  6. If an event includes 2 or more museums, a stamp may be awarded for each museum provided the event is walked a separate time for each stamp.
