Smithsonian magazine has designated Saturday, September 18 as the 17th annual Museum Day, an initiative in which participating museums, zoos, and cultural centers across the United States open their doors for FREE to those who download a branded ticket. Museum Day 2021 celebrates the reopening of museums after long closures due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and to ensure the safest possible experience for all guests, this year’s event will have extra precautions in place (such as timed entry) so guests can safely and comfortably enjoy their experience. To find a participating museum in your area, head to the official Museum Day website at https://www.smithsonianmag.com/museumday/museum-day-2021/.
