Here Are The 50 Museums Offering Free Admission Sunday

In celebration of the opening of Pacific Standard Time's LA/LA months-long exhibit, 50 museums across Los Angeles will open their doors for free to the public Sunday. PST announced the free day back in August, and the time has finally arrived. All the museums are offering exhibits as a part of PST's LA/LA initiative, which kicked off Thursday in Grand Park. The project highlights the interplay between Latin American and Latino art and Los Angeles and will be on display until January 2018.
It's a massive list, so it'll be smart to prioritize the exhibits you're most excited to see (or the museums with the highest admission prices). Keep in mind, some of these museums already offer free admission on a regular basis— the Hammer, the Getty Center, USC Fisher Museum of Art, etc.—so may we suggest picking LACMA, MOCA, or CAAM for this Sunday?
The full description of events and exhibitions can be found on PST's website.

As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
