A Smithsonian Affiliate Membership can be added on as part of a general membership to The Brown for $25.00. Essentially, having a Smithsonian Affiliate Membership in addition to your membership to The Brown is like having two memberships in one. Affiliate members receive all of the benefits of The Brown PLUS a national membership from the Smithsonian.
