Bank of America’s Museums On Us Free Museum Weekend

Bank of America’s Museums On Us weekend is one of the best excuses to finally visit that exhibit you’ve been putting off. Cardholders and one guest get free admission at participating museums across the Bay Area, no ticket price standing between you and a full day of culture. The lineup typically spans a wide range of institutions, from art museums and science centers to natural history collections and beyond. With dozens of venues participating, you can plan a single destination or hop between a few spots over the course of the weekend. Hours and any special programming vary by museum, so it’s worth checking directly with the venues you want to visit before heading out. Free admission goes fast in terms of crowd size, so earlier in the day tends to mean shorter lines.
