I'm not aware of that. TfL don't accept it at their own museum.

Have they stopped accepting it then? There was an oyster reader at the
ticket sales point when I visited a few years back. A post in this group
from 2009 suggest they accept it.

I couldn't see any mention of it on their current site.

But even if the do, it's not useful to say Oyster can be used for museum
entry, if that's the only one.

Cannot say I noticed any last Tuesday when I went for a Birthday treat
- SWMBO paid up as well!

We gift aided the tax and were given a paper ticket that is valid for
one year, which seems to be getting quite common these days. Not sure
how that could be done with Oyster, although I am sure it is
technically feasible.

When I looked at their website the other day, I noticed that the
standard paper ticket was in fact an annual season. The group-discount
ticket, on the other hand, is just a day ticket.

I don't see a fundamental problem with exchanging Oyster credit for one
of those (paper) annual season tickets, apart from the fact they
probably don't do it. (And you'd need to retain the paper ticket, not
the record on your Oyster account, which they like to think expires
after 90 days anyway).

Senior Citizens (etc., presumably) could use a Freedom Pass to get
free access to the museum until a few years ago. The Oyster reader
would have been for that, I think.

They also allowed payment by Oyster for a while too.
