Museum Day in Buffalo is presented in the spirit of the Smithsonian Institution’s commitment to make learning - and the spread of knowledge - accessible to all, giving museums across all 50 states the opportunity to mirror the admission policy of the Smithsonian museums in Washington, D.C.  

For one day only, participating museums across the country and in Buffalo will emulate the free admission policy of the Smithsonian Institution, opening their doors free of charge to those who download a ‘Museum Day Live!’ online ticket. 

The following local museums and cultural institutions are participating in the ‘Museum Day Live!’ initiative:

• Albright-Knox Art Gallery
• Buffalo Harbor Museum / Lower Lakes Marine Historical Society
• Buffalo History Museum
• Buffalo Niagara Heritage Village
• Burchfield Penney Art Center
• Colored Musicians Club Jazz Museum

• Theodore Roosevelt National Inaugural Historic Site

Now in its eleventh year, more than 500,000 guests are expected to visit over 1,000 museums across the country on Museum Day Live!  Visitors who present the ticket will gain entrance for two at an institution of choice on Saturday, Sep. 26, only; one ticket per household, per email address.
