General admission usually costs $25 for adults, so this is a real treat! According to their website, SFMOMA is able to offer free days thanks to their funders Martha and Bruce Atwater, Wayee Chu and Ethan Beard, ConcepciĆ³n S. and Irwin Federman, and The Hearst Foundations.
SFMOMA also offers Free Family Days, and the next one will occur on May 16. Admission is free for a group of up to 4 adults accompanying one child or teen (18 and under). Be sure to reserve your tickets in advance, as these also tend to go quickly.
