How can I purchase a ticket for the museum?

Tickets are available for booking through this website or at the entrance (unless we are at capacity). Tickets purchased on unauthorized websites or through scalpers will not be honored.

Do young children need a ticket?

Tickets are not required for children who are ages four and younger. They can enter MOI for free.

Do you offer free Companion/Carer tickets?

If you’re visiting with someone who requires assistance, we’re pleased to offer complimentary Companion/Carer tickets. These cannot be booked in advance and are only available on the day. We recommend booking tickets for the rest of your group online to avoid disappointment and then on the day, just show a team member some supporting documentation (such as a government benefit letter, Blue Badge, or Carers Card), and we’ll admit the carer free of charge. You don’t need to worry about availability — we’ll always accommodate carers as long as the rest of your party has a booking.
