Hello there,
something good about the SAO predoc fellowship is having a Smithsonian ID card. In principle, you can use it to get a free pass for any museum in the US, and sometimes you can invite a guest or two. Of course, the pass only includes the general exhibitions and nothing extra...
So, here is a very small list of museums I have visited showing my ID. If you have used it somewhere else, please let us know!
cheers,
Jose
Boston:
Museum of Fine Arts (MFA): one guest only, depending on the mood of the person in the counter.
New England Aquarium: just you, no guests.
New York City:
Museum of Modern Arts (MOMA): at least two guests, ask for your tickets at the "members" desk.
Guggenheim Museum: at least two guests, ask for your tickets at the "members" desk.
Whitney Museum of American Art: at least one guest, ask for your tickets at the "members" desk.
American Museum of Natural History: one guest only, ask for your tickets at the "members" desk. The general admission fee is only suggested (you pay what you want), but with your SAO card you can skip the general public ticket line.
Metropolitan Museum of Art (MET): at lest two guests, ask for your tickets at the "members" desk. The general admission fee is only suggested (you pay what you want), but with your SAO card you can skip the general public ticket line.
San Francisco:

I used it also at the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston (one guest only) and at Harvard Museums (no guest, but I'm not sure).
It was great the last time at the MOMA: a huge line in the rain (yes outside!) to get tickets, but my sister and I could skip it all going straight to the Information/Member desk!
This is awesome, I had no idea! Thanks, guys!
Harvard Museums allow one guest (at least Peabody & Natural History, where I have been).
Peapody Essex Museum (PEM) in Salem let me and two guests in when asked from the Members Desk.
I also used the SAO card to get into the Old State House Museum with one guest.
at the air & space museum in DC, (where everyone can get in for free), I managed to score a free IMAX movie with my card :)
I recently went to Old Sturbridge Village (a huge outdoor museum with actors who play the part of 1830s farmers) and got in for free (no guests).
