SoCal Museums announced today that this year’s Museums Free-for-All, which celebrates free arts and culture in Southern California, will take place on Sunday, March 16, 2025. Now a region-wide tradition, this year’s event includes over thirty museums and cultural institutions presenting art, cultural heritage, film, natural history, offering something for everyone.
“As Los Angeles and Southern California continue to recover after the devastating fires, we hope to offer a space of comfort and connection for people. It is an honor for us to open our collective doors and welcome visitors in to experience the broad range of cultural experiences available in the region. The Museums Free-for-All has become a touchstone for our community, a time to try something new or return to an old favorite,” says Alexa Nishimoto, SoCal Museums President and Marketing Associate, Japanese American National Museum. SoCal Museums members offer myriad opportunities to experience arts and culture for free throughout the year. A calendar of free days can be found at socalmuseums.org/free.
This offer is for general museum admission only and does not apply to specially ticketed exhibitions. Regular parking fees apply at each museum. Consult individual museum websites for hours, directions, and other visitor information. This year, many organizations are offering Metro riders with a TAP card special discounts on March 16.
