Here Are The 50 Museums Offering Free Admission Sunday
(Photo by Catherine Avellaneda via the LAist Featured Photos pool on Flickr)
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.
