Art, history and culture aficionados, rejoice! Museums Free-for-All returns next month, offering waived admission at several institutions across Southern California.

Sunday, March 22, marks the beloved day, with dozens of museums across the region taking part. Admission for the day is waived at participating locations, making them more accessible to the public. Among those locations is the La Brea Tar Pits Museum in Hancock Park.

Reagan Dunn, Assistant Deputy Director and Associate Curator at the La Brea Tar Pits Museum, said her team is looking forward to next month.

“This is one of the most exciting days that we have every year, and it really lets the public come in and see this natural phenomenon that happened, here in Los Angeles,” Dunn said. “It’s really one of LA’s most iconic sites, and everybody can come in and see this for free.”

With a spike in visitors anticipated for the day, Dunn suggests reserving a spot online to enjoy the ‘Museums Free-for-All’ Day perks. The museum is open 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

“The La Brea tar pits that are here, in what is now Hancock Park, were active tar pits. So, tar was coming to the surface, and it was a really sticky substance. And these animals, for over the last 60,000 years, and anything that kind of accidentally got into the tar pits, ended up as a fossil,” Dunn said. “Fossil sites are generally like way out in the boonies somewhere, but here, they’re right here in the middle of Los Angeles.”

Nearly 30 museums are participating in ‘Museums Free-for-All’ day, including:

The Grammy Museum

The Academy Museum of Motion Pictures

The Autry Museum of the American West

The Bowers Museum

LACMA, Los Angeles County Museum of Art

Catalina Museum for Art & History

Craft Contemporary

Holocaust Museum LA

Santa Monica History Museum

Skirball Cultural Center

And more.

Visitors are advised to check in with individual museums to see if they’re participating in the waived admission day. The public is also recommended to find out if reservations are needed in advance.
