This Saturday, September 17 is National Museum Day. This day is an annual celebration of boundless curiosity hosted by Smithsonian magazine. To celebrate we gathered all the Tampa Bay museums offering free admission.

Now is a great time to see an art exhibit at the Dali museum or learn more about Tampa Bay at the Tampa Bay History Center. Be aware that this day draws in big crowds that normally don’t visit museums, so getting your ticket in advance is recommended. Click here to reserve your tickets for Tampa Bay museums.
