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.
