Compliments of the Smithsonian Magazine, you can enjoy free general admission for you and a guest to literally hundreds of museums and cultural venues nationwide on Saturday (and some on Sunday too). To get your free admission, you’ll need to present a Museum Day admission card at participating Museum Day locations. You can download your admission card from the Smithsonian’s site by clicking that big Museum Day Admission Card picture right here on our site.
