Smithsonian Magazine's Museum Day is coming up this Saturday, Sept. 17, 2022. During the one-day event, participating museums and cultural centers across the U.S. - and here in Michigan - are free to enter.

In its 18th year, Smithsonian Magazine says the goal of the Museum Day goes beyond getting visitors through museum doors:

It acts as a springboard to empower and help advance the hopes and ambitions of the public, particularly school-aged children and those in underrepresented communities.

The theme of Museum Day 2022 is "The American Experience".

If you'd like to visit a museum for free on Saturday, head to Smithsonian Magazine's Museum Day website.

There you you can download one ticket per email address. The ticket provides free general admission on Saturday, September 17, 2022, for you and a guest.
