The seventh annual Free Museum Day, sponsored by Smithsonian magazine, takes place on Saturday, September 24, with institutions all over the country opening their doors to people who have downloaded a free ticket for two from the above website. There’s only one ticket allowed per household/e-mail address, so be careful before filling out the online form; some of the museums are free anyway, either all the time or on Saturdays, while others might be between exhibits so there won’t be all that much to see. The participating venues in the five boroughs include Asia Society Museum, the Bartow-Pell Mansion, the Brooklyn Historical Society, the Brooklyn Museum, the Cathedral Church of Saint John the Divine, the Children’s Museum, El Museo del Barrio, the Fraunces Tavern Museum, the Hispanic Society, Historic Richmond Town, the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum, the Jewish Museum, the Museum of Contemporary African Diasporan Art, the Morgan Library, Mount Vernon Hotel Museum & Garden, the Museum of American Finance, the Museum of Biblical Art, the Museum of Chinese in America, the New York City Fire Museum, the New-York Historical Society, the New York Transit Museum, the Pratt Manhattan Gallery, the Queens Historical Society, the Queens Museum of Art, the Rubin Museum of Art, the Skyscraper Museum, the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian, the Snug Harbor Cultural Center and Botanical Garden, the Society of Illustrators, the Studio Museum in Harlem, the Ukrainian Museum, and the Vilcek Foundation. Of course, if you pair up with friends and relatives, you can get more tickets for different places.
