The Smithsonian Magazine is bringing back its annual Museum Day in September, granting free access to museums and cultural centers across the country.

The 17th annual celebration will allow people to request a free ticket to one of more than 1,000 museums in nearly all 50 states for Saturday, Sept. 18, Smithsonian Magazine shared with Travel + Leisure. This year's event, which carries the theme "Experience America," comes after 2020's Museum Day — like many events around the world — was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
