Each year, Smithsonian magazine provides the public with the opportunity to visit local museums free of charge. Just register to receive your free Museum Day Ticket at the Smithsonian magazine Museum Day website. One "ticket" is allowed per household but each Museum Day Ticket allows for admission of the person who registered plus a guest. This is a great cost-effective way to check out some of the amazing museums within driving distance.
Here are all the details:- Only an official Museum Day Live! ticket is eligible for free entry. Official tickets can be found here on the Museum Day Live! website soon.
- One ticket per household, for two people.
- A ticket will gain entry to only one of the participating museums, excluding parking and special events and exhibits.
- If museum reaches capacity, museum has the right to limit the number of guests until space becomes available.
For a full list of participating museums, check out the Museum Day website.
