Send us your photos and win!

Send us photos of yourself, your friends or family enjoying your South Carolina State Museum – in the exhibit galleries*, at programs or activities, wherever you’re having fun in the Museum.  Each month we’ll select the best photo and post it – and print it in our quarterly members’ newsletter, Images -  and you could win four free passes to the State Museum, along with admission to our current blockbuster exhibit, if applicable.  Click here to find out how to enter.
