It’s time for the annual Smithsonian Magazine Museum Day again!  The Museum Day event is taking place in museums (and even a few zoos) across the country on Saturday, September 26th, as a celebration of our country’s culture. Though many museums are open to the public year-round without an admission cost, the Smithsonian admission card allows patrons to visit many other museums that would typically charge a fee, provided they visit on 09/26/09.
