Free First Thursdays at Berkeley Art Museum
Thu, July 2, 2026 · 11:00 am
Berkeley Art Museum opens its doors for free on the first Thursday of every month as part of the First Thursday program. No need to worry about ticket costs — just show up and explore. The museum’s rotating exhibitions and permanent collections are all on offer during these free admission days. Doors open at 11:00 am, giving you a full day to take it all in. It’s one of the more accessible ways to make a regular habit of visiting one of the East Bay’s premier art institutions.
