NYC Free: Museum Admission by Day of Week

free museum admission nyc

With admission to some NYC museums now up to $25 per person, be smart – and cheap – and visit when these must-see destinations are FREE. 

The caveat, of course, is that free means crowded with others enjoying NYC culture on the cheap.

These are the FREE days and times at New York City museum, listed by day of the week.

The motto of NYC on the Cheap is Get More NYC for Less Money. 

FREE museum admission is a great way to do that.

Be sure to check the museum website before you head out, since times and dates can change.

    Please, put it all on one page. And the format of pages 5, 6 and 7 is different than 1 – 4.

      Thanks for being an NYCOTC follower, and for your comment about information preferences.

      The free museum information has been on a single page for more than one year, and was switched recently the one-a-day format to make it more mobile-friendly.
