FREE Culture & Museums Tickets 🎟 through Local Libraries

September 17, 2020

It is September 2020 and museums are opening up again. But always check directly with museum for details and rules. Many times you must get tickets ahead of time. You can get free tickets from some museums, see listings below. Or you can see which time and day has free entrance...although during the pandemic, I am not sure how valid they are. Perhaps they give out some free ones online. Here is the article.
