On one day in September, museums across the country offer free admission to anyone with a Museum Day ticket. Each downloadable ticket works for free general admission for two people.
On O‘ahu the participating museums are Queen Emma Summer Palace, ʻIolani Palace, Japanese Cultural Center and Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum. The Hawai‘i State Art Museum also participates, although that museum is always free.
(Editor's Note: ʻIolani Palace is temporarily closed through Saturday, Sept. 21, due to beehives found in the vicinity. For updates, please click here.)
