International Museum Day

Museums that are members of The Association of Art Museum Directors (AAMD) have announced that they will collectively take part in International Museum Day this May 18, 2010. In honor of this day, organized annually by the International Council of Museums, many of the institutions will offer free or reduced admission, plus other special programs.

This year's theme for International Museum Day is "Museums for social harmony." You can find a list of participating museums, and a handy outline of which museums are offering what discounts here. The list is pretty extensive, and covers all types of museums large and small, so if you've got some free time on a Tuesday, check it out!
