Visit a museum for free!

A couple of weeks ago I thought I would go visit the Cartoon Art Museum (on Mission St. close to the MOMA museum): I liked it very much, especially the part where they show some of the cartoons published by The Economist magazine in the recent years. I paid $6 for one entrance, which is a fair price for what I saw... but a couple of days later I found out that I could have gone on the 1st Tuesday of the month for free!

It didn't take me much more to "google" about any these free entrance in the different museums The City has to offer!

What a good surprise to find out that...

Some are always free, like these for example:
- Cable Car Museum (1201 Mason St.)
- SF Fire Department Museum (655 Presidio St. - at Pine St.)
- Wells Fargo History Museum (420 Montgomery - between California & Sacramento)

Some offer free admittance every 1st Tuesday of the month! Here a couple of options:
- Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) (151  3rd St. - between Mission and Howard St.)
- De Young (Golden Gate Park)
- Cartoon Art Museum (655 Mission St. - between 2nd & 3rd St.)
- Yerba Buena Center Galleries (701 Mission St.)

And some offer you to enter for free on every 1st Wednesday of the month, like:
- Exploratorium (at the Palace of Fine Arts)

To see all your options, rush in consulting this webpage for much more ideas so that you can get yourself a few hours of discovery, learning and fun!

And now... indulge San Francisco! ;-)

I suggest you complete your visit at the Exploratorium by a short walk
at the Palace of Fine Arts, that has just reopened to public in January,
after having been closed for over 7 years in order to solidify
its structure in case of an earthquake.
Don`t forget your camera!
