More than 1,500 museums and cultural institutions around the country will celebrate Smithsonian Magazine's 15th annual Museum Day on Sept. 21 with free admission to anyone who downloads a special ticket.
More than 1,500 museums and cultural institutions will offer free admission to those who download a ticket.
The free nationwide event presents a great opportunity to stop in and revisit a favorite exhibit at a local cultural institution or take a chance on taking the family to a museum in a town you're visiting without worrying about all the admission fees. And while raising visibility for museums is always a good thing, "the annual event is about more than just getting visitors through museum doors," said Amy Wilkins, chief revenue officer at Smithsonian Media, "it represents a national commitment to access, equity and inclusion and helps to empower and advance the hopes and ambitions of the public. Who wouldn't want to be a part of that?", with many participating museums offering special music-themed programming.
In North Carolina, a high school rock orchestra will play a selection of train-related songs at the Wilmington Railroad Museum. And in Mumford, New York, the Genesee Country Village & Museum, the state's largest living history museum, will be celebrating early shape-note music with a shape-note sing open to all.Source: MoPop
