Get Ready for Free Museum Day!

Museums all over the country will open their doors for free on Saturday, Sept. 29th, thanks to Smithsonian Magazine's eighth annual Museum Day Live!

While Washington, D.C.'s Smithsonian museums are always open to the public, more than 1,400 other museums and cultural institutions are following their lead, at least for one day. Here in New York, there are so many museums to choose from and admission can really add up. I'm torn between The International Center of Photography (normally $14 per adult), The Brooklyn Museum (normally $12 per adult), and El Museo del Barrio (normally $9 per adult).

To get the free tickets, find a participating museum near you, then fill out the online form. Only two free tickets are allowed per household and do not include extra charges for special exhibits like IMAX showings.
