Frequently Asked Questions 

Find out more about how San Francisco is leading the charge to include all residents in our arts and culture communities.

 

Why San Francisco Museums for All?

San Francisco is home to some of the world’s greatest art, science, and history museums, but entrance fees for families can range from $20 to $150 – which make it harder for some families to access.

Mayor London N. Breed launched San Francisco Museums for All to bridge this gap and create more equitable access to the City’s renowned arts and cultural institutions and their educational opportunities – especially during the summer months.

 

Who can access museums through San Francisco Museums for All?

Any San Francisco resident who is currently enrolled in CalFresh, Medi-Cal, or cash assistance benefits through the San Francisco Human Services Agency is eligible for the free admission program.
