Do you like free stuff? Do you like to wander through museums? Then I’ve got a deal for you.

This Saturday, dozens of Southern California museums are opening their doors and inviting you to visit. For free. Yes, I said no charge. (Sadly, sometimes the parking is not free, but still … .)

Note that some places require reservations, so read up on the details. And the free admission applies to the general museum, not any specially ticketed exhibitions. If I were you, I’d get there right when they open, because this will be one crowded day.

Here’s the freebie list, courtesy of SoCalMuseums.org. It’s a good idea to check for new additions. And note that some of these museums are free all the time!Academy Museum of Motion Pictures >> 6067 Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles. Exhibitions on movies, film showings and more.
