San Francisco Museums For All
The second summer of the San Francisco Museums For All program provides low-income residents with free or reduced admission to local museums and cultural centers.
The San Francisco Museums for All (SF MFA) program offers free or $3 admission to low-income residents. During COVID-19, SF MFA partners continue to serve all San Franciscans by offering Museums From Home, a program of free, online access to exhibits and activities.
Enjoy the websites below until all our favorite museums and cultural centers reopen. We'll update the reopening information for each museum as it becomes available. Note: The San Francisco Botanical Garden and SF Recreation & Parks Japanese Tea Garden are open at this time. See details below.
