This Saturday, September 25, is Museum Day , an annual event hosted by Smithsonian Media in which participating museums across the country offer free admission to anyone presenting a Museum Day Ticket. Just to be clear, the Museum Day Ticket is good for free admission for two people, and only one ticket is allowed per household. Still, it’s a pretty good deal, and we think it’s great incentive to explore a local or regional museum you might never have visited before. Here’s a list of participating museums in the Portland metro area: Museum of Contemporary Craft, NW Portland: museumofcontemporarycraft.org . Oregon History Museum, SW Portland: ohs.org .
