In many cities around the world, museums are funded from the budget, so admission is free. But in New York, the situation is completely different: city museums have excellent collections and vibrant exhibitions, but entrance to them is quite expensive. Although almost all of them have days when the entrance to the institution is free. Edition Time-out has collected information about when and which museums in New York can be visited freely.
