You can get in free to several St. Petersburg museums on Saturday

Arts Alive! Free Museum Day, an annual event that used to overlap with Smithsonian magazine’s free-admission Museum Day, is coming to St. Petersburg on Saturday, Sept. 21.

The Smithsonian has “paused” its nationwide effort the last two years without explanation, but the St. Petersburg Arts Alliance, the city of St. Petersburg and local participating organizations are carrying on.

Don’t expect to just breeze through the local participating museums, though.
