Smithsonian Magazine has designated Saturday September 17, 2022, as the 18th annual Museum Day, an initiative in which participating museums, zoos, and cultural centers across the United States open their doors to the public for free. Museum Day is a springboard to uplift and advance youth and underrepresented communities, fulfilling a national commitment to breaking down barriers for equity and inclusion. This year’s theme, The American Experience, is a celebration of boundless curiosity that grants access to the remarkable arts, culture, sciences, innovation, and history exhibits across the United States.
