Museum Day

September 27th is Museum Day, when museums and cultural institutions nationwide open their doors free of charge to Smithsonian magazine readers and Smithsonian.com visitors. The day is a celebration of culture and learning, and treats visitors to the free-admission policy of the Smithsonian Institution.

The local Marietta Museum of History (pictured to the right) is participating in this event. I'm sure there will be at least one museum in your area doing the same. Take the opportunity to see what your local area has to offer - no risk involved, and I guarantee you'll learn a lot.

For a list, by state, of other participating venues, visit the Smithsonian website here.
