Event Details

Contemporary Jewish Museum Free Admission Day (First Fridays)

The Contemporary Jewish Museum engages audiences of all  backgrounds through dynamic exhibitions and programs that explore contemporary perspectives on Jewish culture, history, art, and ideas. And the architecture of the Museum itself is a work of art.

CLOSURE UPDATE: The Contemporary Jewish Museum has closed its galleries to the public starting December 16, 2024 for at least a year.

Embracing a range of artistic disciplines and media, the museum’s exhibition program includes contemporary art, historical objects, film, music, conversations, lectures, literary readings, and other live performances.

Normally admission is $16 for adults, but on the first Friday of each month, admission is free.

Free First Fridays

Generous support for Free First Fridays is provided by the Alexander M. and June L. Maisin Foundation and by Pacific Gas and Electric Company.
