St. Petersburg is a city of museums, and many of them will let you in for free this weekend as part of the \u201cArts Alive\u201d promotion. Nearly a dozen museums are participating, and while some require advance registration, others do not.<\/p>\n

Highlights on the promotion include downtown\u2019s MFA St. Pete, the Dal\u00ed just down the street, FloridaRAMA, The Woodson African American Museum of Florida, and James Museum of Western & Wildlife Art. The Morean Arts Center, which is always free, is also included, duh.<\/p>\n

In a press release, organizer St. Petersburg Arts Alliance <\/a>said the holiday, \u201cencourages everyone to discover the city\u2019s vibrant arts whether visiting a favorite museum or discovering a new one.\u201d<\/p>\n
