Saturday, September 17, 2022 is Free Museum Admission Day.

This annual free event grants free general admission for two people each to hundreds of museums nationwide.

To get started, visit smithsonianmag.com, then select the museum you want to attend for free and submit your name & email address. You’ll then be able to download your ticket immediately and they’ll also email you a copy. Check your inbox for an email from [email protected] with a link to your ticket.

Heads up, you can’t download a ticket for more than one museum, so pick wisely!  Participating museums in the Hampton Roads area include the Cape Henry Lighthouse Museum, Bacon’s Castle in Surry, the Art Museums of Colonial Williamsburg and more.
