FREE AUGUST MUSEUM DAYS

What are your thoughts on free museum days? Personally, I think they’re perfect for a cheap date, showing a visitor around, or getting your steps in somewhere dry on a rainy afternoon. And yes, they also work for people who genuinely love art, history, and quietly reading every single wall label.
