Many of my friends ask me how we go to so many places. The secret to our success is the amount of free museums. This is a list of free museums we know about.<\/p>\n
All of the places listed below have a general admission that is free. Sometimes museums have special exhibits or show and those exhibits and shows may charge an extra fee but you can still go to the general admission for free.<\/p>\n
Some of places require online tickets prior to going, but if they are on this list the online ticket is free.<\/p>\n
All of the museums accept donations, but I purposely didn’t list any museum that has a “suggested” donation. Technically, “suggested” donation museums are also free but my experience is that docents at those museums get kind of pushy if you don’t pay the “suggested” price, which means it really is not a free museum. I only have included museums we know to be completely free to enter without question.<\/p>\n
The goal is continually update the list. If you see a museum on the list that we have missed (we want to go too), no longer free, or closed please let us know.<\/p>\n
