Visit a Museum for Free

If you missed last Sunday's Target Free Museum Day in San Francisco, don't worry—you can still visit most of the city's major museums for free every month! Just about all museums have one day a month set aside as a free day. They all aren't on the same day, too, so if you plan it right you can take in several museum outings without having to pay a thing. Note that most museums still charge for special exhibitions, although usually your general admission fee will be deducted from the total.
