SF’s First Ever “Free Museum Weekend” Coming Dec. 3-4
Thanks to an anonymous donor, San Francisco is getting its first ever Free Museum Weekend on December 3-4, 2022.
Celebrate the reawakening and revitalization of a city that has long championed creativity, experimentation, and innovation. San Francisco Free Museum Weekend is a collaborative initiative that highlights the city’s vibrant arts and culture organizations. Over 20 museums will open their doors free to the public on Saturday and Sunday, December 3 and 4, 2022.
It is highly recommened for all guests to reserve a ticket in advance. A limited amount of tickets will be available onsite at participating museums. Tickets are available through Eventbrite. Tickets for California Academy of Sciences tickets need to be reserved separately on their website.
Your ticket is a gateway to all participating museums for that day. If you want to visit museums on both days, you will need a ticket for each day. Each museum will open their doors free to the public on one of the two weekend days. Please see the schedule for the full list of participating museums.
