See some of history’s most famous artworks completely free this March!
Chicago has one of the best collections of museums and attractions on the planet. Visiting all of them can get a little costly, especially if you’re taking the family. So it’s understandable why free admission days generate quite a lot of hype!
Luckily for us, the wonderful variety of museums and attractions in the Windy City love to announce random free days throughout the year offering locals the chance to see some of the world’s most awe-inspiring wonders regularly, for absolutely zero cost.
Recently we’ve been treated to free days at Shedd Aquarium and Field Museum but Art Institute of Chicago, one of the oldest and largest art museums in the world, is also free Mondays, Thursdays, & Fridays through March 17th.
Happy New Year from the Art Institute of Chicago! Thank you for being part of our vibrant museum community.
We are excited to offer free admission to all Illinois residents every weekday—now through March 17.
