Smithsonian Magazine Museum Day: Free Admission on 4/4

The Smithsonian Magazine Museum Day will be Saturday, April 4th, 2020. Museum Day brings together museums, zoos & cultural centers from all 50 states to offer free admission to all Museum Day ticket holders. Museum Day represents a national commitment to access, equality and inclusion.

Museum Day goes beyond getting visitors through museum doors—it acts as a springboard to empower and help advance the hopes and ambitions of the public, particularly school-aged children and those in underrepresented communities.

This year, Museum Day will celebrate Earth Optimism.

Tickets will be available for the public to download beginning February 27, 2020.
