When you tire from the lackluster views of the Golden Gate Bridge and the Bay Area skyline, you’ll probably be looking to rest your eyes on other free sights nearby. Thankfully, I’ve pulled together a list of 15 museums and their respective windows of free admission. Mark these dates down and plan your visits to take full advantage of free entry throughout the year. This means you, your parents, your friends, and anyone else that might benefit from the word “free.” Enjoy!
