These 23 NYC Museums Will Be Free On Saturday

WALL STREET, NY — Some of New York City's finest attractions are waiving entrance fees Saturday, inviting visitors to save up to $33 each as park of Museum Day Live.

The event, hosted by the "Smithsonian" magazine, lets two people per household into participating museums free of charge on Sept. 23. Across the country, 1,500 institutions are taking part. Tickets should be applied for in advance here.

In New York City, the more than 20 venues include the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum, which regularly charges $33 per adult, and the Museum of the City of New York. The Wall Street favorite the Museum of American Finance, where there's currently an exhibit on black Americans who have been featured on U.S. currency, is also participating.
