Sight, the workhorse of the five senses, puts in too many hours keeping man from falling in manholes. Give the most-overworked sense a vacation with today's Groupon: for $17, you get one individual yearlong membership (a $35 value) to the Fort Wayne Museum of Art. A membership grants unlimited museum access to one adult and his or her children, a discount in the museum store, discounts on special events, and more. Click here to see a complete list of benefits.

The FWMoA flaunts a dazzling array of American paintings, sculpture, and photographs. The building, fresh from a sweeping expansion, has three galleries that comfortably house a permanent collection of more than 1,400 pieces, with each striking work placed in its cultural, historical, and phantasmagorical context. The clean, roomy space hosts numerous perennial traveling exhibitions, with current and future topics ranging as wide as the New Deal, medical art, and contemporary American realism (your membership includes an exclusive ticket to each new exhibition's opening reception). Exploit your VIP rank further at the museum store, where you'll receive a 10% discount on any of the art books, jewelry, and bottles of Andrew Wyeth's courage.

American art is much more than stenciling baseball bats onto moon craters with an Old Glory jackhammer. The Fort Wayne Museum of Art aspires to promote cultural understanding and foster community in a warm, family-friendly community venue, and membership purchases help fund a significant portion of their budget. Bring your Groupon to the museum or fill out membership information online to acquire your membership materials; your membership kit won't arrive until three weeks after processing, but you can use your Groupon for temporary access to the museum.

This Groupon is valid for new members only.
