An international quilt museum at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln is offering free admission to active-duty service members and their families.

The International Quilt Study Center and Museum is participating in a nationwide program for military personnel from Memorial Day through Labor Day. It's a collaboration of more than 1,500 museums from around the country.

The program is available to active-duty service members with a military identification, and up to five family members.

The museum houses more than 3,500 quilts. Its mission is to study, preserve and promote quilts and quilt-making tradition.
