Free Museum Day

ED NOTE (10/05/07): The list of museums has been updated - the free admission does not apply to LACMA anymore. Check the website again for the list - i'd also call the museum to confirm if you are planning on checking it out.

MetroRider tipped me off to another great way to spend a weekend day (they posted about this event here) This upcoming Saturday, October 6th 21 museums in the LA area are going to have a free admission day.

You can see the complete list at MuseumsLA event site

Sounds like a great saturday to see how many of these museum's you can hit in one day - to make it even better use public transit to get to and from them and avoid paying parking fees

My plan is ...

Take the red line to wilshire/vermont and hop on a 720 to wilshire/fairfax. There i can check out the LACMA, The Craft and Folk Museum, The LaBrea tar pits and probably the A+D museum (not on the free list but i still want to check it out)

Get back on the 720 (or the 20) and head to Wilshire/Westwood and check out the Hammer museum. While i'm in the neighborhood i'll probably take a little walk and get an ice cream sandwich at Diddy Reese or maybe an afternoon beer at Westwood Brewing Company.

Might as well take the opportunity to check out at least one of the 21 listed museums.
