More than a dozen Bay Area museums are offering free admission, amongst them the Florida Museum of Photographic Arts, Henry B. Plant Museum, Tampa Museum of Art and Tampa Bay History Center.

Museum visitors can receive two free admission tickets to any one museum for the day by printing tickets in advance off the Smithsonian website.
