What to know before you go

Museums range from major art and history institutions to smaller specialty museums focused on a single topic, and hours vary more than you might expect — many are closed one day a week, commonly Monday, and some offer extended hours or reduced admission on specific evenings. Larger museums sometimes require timed-entry tickets for popular exhibits, so it's worth checking ahead if you have a specific exhibit in mind. Many museums also offer free or discounted admission on certain days, which is worth checking if budget is a factor.
