The Smithsonian Magazine Museum Day is back. After it got cancelled last year due to the pandemic, this year it is back on track.
This years Museum Day is scheduled for September 18, 2021. On that day, you can visit your favorite and participating museum for free.
There is only one downside this year. The list of participating museums is very small. Probably most still rely on the income from visitors to recoup from the pandemic impact last year.
A list of participating museums is available on the official website.
Make sure you read the FAQ. A free ticket gives the ticket holder and a +1 free admission to the selected museum. You can’t change your selection once you received your free ticket. Some museums allow to accompany parents for free but please check with the museum for their specific rules.
