The Institute for American Indian Studies in Washington, Connecticut has announced that they are participating in the Smithsonian Magazine’s nationwide event called Museum Day taking place September 18th. In this initiative, participating museums across the United States open their doors for free to those who download a branded ticket from the Smithsonian Magazine’s website. This event allows museums nationwide to emulate the spirit of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C., which offers free admission every day.
This year's theme, "Experience America," represents a return to normalcy in the safest possible way. The Institute for American Indian Studies will have safety precautions in place for this year's event so guests can comfortably enjoy their time at the museum. "We are thrilled to join forces with Smithsonian Magazine’s Museum Day to bring educational experiences to families and children and to help foster a limitless quest for knowledge," said Chris Combs, Executive Director of the Institute. "Museum Day goes beyond getting visitors through museum doors, it also serves as a reminder of people, places, and cultural experiences that have the power to educate and unite us all."
