These are really cool. Here in Omaha, NE our big museum is also free. Going to museums is one of the best ways to have fun, at least for me. Keep up the great work on informing people.
ReplyDeleteAgree - I like museums also. I lived in Omaha for a summer, but the only places I made it to were Boys Town and the Museo Latino. I have friends there still, and the Joslyn is definitely on my list when I make it back to visit! I didn't know there were free museums there too! I'll have to keep it in mind :)
DeleteThanks for information. In Memphis, TN Brook Museum of art is "Pay what you can" on Wednesday's, and Pink Palace Museum is free Tuesday's after 1:00 pm. It is always great to find free resources like this.
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome! I like the "pay what you can" idea. Sounds like by offering it once a week it is frequent enough for people to enjoy it, but infrequent enough for the museum to be able to afford it. I will keep these in mind if I ever head to Memphis!
DeleteYou know, I haven't been to a museum since I was a kid! I love that your list is mostly museums with free admission all the time. I have a budget and sometimes I need to be able to do something with my kiddo that isn't going to drain my wallet. Love that I can enjoy museums like this!
