Contemporary Jewish Museum Free Admission Day (First Fridays)

Every first Friday of the month

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.

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.
