SF’s GLBT History Museum: Free First Wednesday

Located in SF’s Castro District, the GLBT Historical Society Museum is the first full-scale, stand-alone museum of its kind in the United States. The museum celebrates 100 years of the city’s vast queer past through dynamic exhibitions and programming.

Normally admission is $10, but on the first Wednesday of every month, admission is free for everyone, thanks to a grant from the Bob Ross Foundation. Free tickets are not available for reservation online on free days; all visitors will be welcomed to the museum as long as there is capacity on a first-come, first-served basis.

There’s also free admission for children 12 and under, plus SNAP EBT and Medi-Cal cardholders: Free + 3 guests. Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) cardholders receive free admission through Museums for All. Cardholders may present their card and valid ID to receive free admission. To reserve advance tickets, contact tickets@glbthistory.org.
