A while ago I did a post listing all of the free museum days in Los Angeles. Once I started using google calendars more, I knew the listing would be far more useful if it had a calendar as well… so behold… below is what *should* be the most definitive calendar listing of FREEEEE! museum days in Los Angeles that exists online. So the next time you’re sitting at home in front of the television complaining that you have no money to do anything… this list proves you wrong. These museums are all cheaper entertainment than renting a movie on Netflix! I sincerely hope this resource is one you’ll feel comfortable turning to for inspiration to spend more of your future free time exploring, seeing and learning all sorts of incredible new things and less of it whining on the couch while watching Law & Order repeats. Yep, I’m talking to myself… :)
Please e-mail us with additions, corrections and alterations to the list so we can keep it up to date. Thanks.

I love a good calendar and I swear I didn’t see your calendar before I did mine. I’ve had the free museum days page up on my site from the beginning and then it hit me that it’s hard to plan a day while only looking at a page, so I created the calendar. Actually, you have a lot more stuff in yours than I do. :)
I think we both just have great minds that think alike. :)
Thanks for the comprehensive calendar. You really have your finger on the
pulse of the City of Angels. Some of your inclusions lead me to believe you
are truly inspired by your extraordinary love of culture! Thank you!
Thanks Lisa. I just think it’s an incredible gift how much eclectic variety there is here. Sometimes the more eccentric and obscure things are the most awesome! :)
This was so great when I saw it, but now there is NO LINK to the calendar? PLEASE to actually publish a link to the calendar instead of just explaining how cool it is. ;)
I’m a little confused. The calendar is embedded above as well as on the right column of every page (with a link this page directly below it). If you’d like to see a different view that is more of a visual calendar, just click on the tab that says “month” or “year.”
If you are not seeing a calendar at all, there may be something going on with your browser. It’s there. Didn’t move.
Sorry I meant click on the tab that says “week” or “month” not year.
Thanks. This is excellent.
Does anyone else have a problem seeing this calendar on Safari, it works fine on firefox, but not on safari…
Thanks so much for posting the info on the Automobile Driving Museum. I visited it for the first time today and it’s fantastic. I never would’ve known about it if it weren’t for your post.
Wonderful website.
Just a suggestion: many of the free museums on your site are free all the time. It would be nice to have a separate listing for those that are always free and those that are free only say one day a month or a year. For example, avila adobe always free. Huntington gardens free only first thursday and only with prior reservations; norton simon free only first friday of the month and only in the evening.
Here you go, here’s how it was listed before it was put into calendar format: http://hiddenlosangeles.com/?p=3084
This inspires me to visit each one of these museums. Thank you!
I’d been speaking with several parents about collecting this type of information and what you’ve made is an amazing resource. That you.
I’ve bookmarked the web page list of event: http://hiddenlosangeles.com/?p=3084.
I’ve been able to add the Hidden Los Angeles Calendar (in Gold) to my Google Calendar (Go to Google.com, create Gmail, enable Calendar, add rentanative@gmail.com as a friend’s calendar), but haven’t been able to add the LA Swap Meet Calendar (in Red) or the Free Museum Days in Los Angeles / CALENDAR OF FREE MUSEUM DAYS (in Green). Can you help me add them to my Google Calendar? Thank you again for your wonderful efforts.
I’m honestly not sure why you could add one but not another… huh. Sorry I don’t know how to help you.
gives use a excellent web site decent Gives cheers for the hard work to help out people
I can’t see the calendar at all on my PC – firefox or explorer. There’s just a calendar ad for the LA river tour in the right column. Suggestions?
Fixed! :)
Does anyone know what day this year the free day is that includes pretty much everything…including The Peterson Automotive Museum, etc? I know they used to have this one huge free day a year with about 20-40 places participating.
Thank you soooo much for this list!!! I appreciate your efforts and will gladly and gratefully use this!!!
I want to be a member… please tell me how I can sign up!
