SoCal Museums Offer Free Admissions On Free-For-All Saturday

LOS ANGELES, CA— The rainy weekend weather may chase SoCal residents indoors, but, luckily, Saturday is the annual museum Free-For-All hosted by SoCal Museums

Dozens of Southern California museums and cultural centers will offer free admission across Los Angeles and Orange counties.

More than 30 museums are taking part this year.

“We are thrilled, once again, to invite visitors from across Southern California to see the remarkable range of art, cultural heritage, natural history, film, and science that our museums and cultural organizations have to offer. The Museums Free-for-All has always been an opportunity for people to see something new or to revisit a treasured spot,” said Alexa Nishimoto, SoCal Museums President and Marketing Associate, Japanese American National Museum. “The Free-for-All also serves as a reminder that many museums here in Southern California are always free and others offer these types of opportunities year round.”
