The annual event allows museums, zoos, and cultural centers from all 50 states to emulate the spirit of the Smithsonian Institution\u2019s Washington, D.C.-based facilities, which offer free admission every day. This year\u2019s event is sponsored by The Quaker Oats Company.<\/p>\n

Museum Day goes beyond getting visitors through museum doors\u2014it acts as a springboard to empower and help advance the hopes and ambitions of the public, particularly school-aged children and those in underrepresented communities. It represents a national commitment to access, equity and inclusion.<\/p>\n

With many public spaces being shut down for a year or more, Museum Day 2021 celebrates the reopening of museums after long closures due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This year\u2019s theme, Experience America, represents the return to, and resurgence of, our country’s diverse cultural experiences, in the safest possible way. While tickets will be free of charge, participating museums will have safety precautions in place for this year\u2019s event so guests can safely and comfortably enjoy their experience.<\/p>\n

National Buffalo Museum, Executive Director, Ilana Xinos says, \u201cWe\u2019re coming off an incredibly busy summer, with visitors from all 50 states and several other countries experiencing the museum. In keeping the Smithsonian\u2019s Museum Day\u2019s theme, Experience America, we\u2019re pleased to participate in allowing more people to experience the US National Mammal, the North American bison.”<\/p>\n
