Via Get Rich Slowly:
This Saturday (the 27th) is Museum Day 2008, sponsored by Smithsonian Magazine. Your admission card provides free general admission for you and a guest (with some restrictions) to participating sites. Details at the above link to Get Rich Slowly or at smithsonianmag.com. Go to the magazine's website to download your free admission card and search a list of participating museums.
Locally, the list includes (but is not limited to) the American Visionary Art Museum in Baltimore and the Heritage Farm Museum in Sterling. You folks in California have a wider selection, including the Exploratorium, Chabot Space & Science Center, and the Dr. Willella Howe-Waffle House and Medical Museum. (I have no idea what that last is, I just love the name. I keep parsing it as "Dr. Willella Howe" "Waffle House and Medical Museum" though, which is a disturbing mental image.)
Also for the locals, this Saturday is the National Book Festival downtown on the Mall--IMO pretty much the only good thing to come out of the Bush (43) administration. Thanks, Laura! Neil Gaiman will be reading in the Teens & Children Pavilion 11:45-12:15 and then doing a signing from 1-3.
