BOZEMAN — Museum Day is a national celebration of curiosity in which participating museums match the free admission policy at the Smithsonian Institution’s Washington, D.C.-based museums. It aims to inspire the public, particularly school-aged children and those in underrepresented communities, she said, and it represents a commitment to access, equity and inclusion. This year’s theme is “Experience America.” Museum of the Rockies’ current rotating exhibition is “The Vikings Begin,” which features rare Scandinavian artifacts. Its primary exhibition halls and Taylor Planetarium shows are also available.
Museum Day tickets are available for download at: Smithsonianmag.com/MuseumDay. Visitors who present a Museum Day ticket will gain free entrance for two. One ticket is permitted per email address. For more information visit: Smithsonianmag.com/MuseumDay.
The museum, which is a part of Montana State University, recommends that all individuals, vaccinated or not, wear face masks or coverings indoors.
