Twenty venues around Southern California will offer free admission on Jan. 25 as part of the annual Museums Free-for-All program.

Participating museums include the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Museum of Contemporary Art and the Orange County Museum of Art.

The offer is valid for general museum admission only, organizers said, and may not apply to special ticketed exhibitions. Regular parking fees apply at each venue.

The free day can offer substantial savings for families. General adult admission at LACMA is normally $15, and at MOCA it’s $12. The Orange County Museum of Art in Newport Beach normally charges $12 for an adult admission.

Some of the participating museums such as the Getty Center already offer free admission to all. (The Getty Villa requires timed tickets for entry.) The Hammer Museum is scheduled to switch over to free admission at all times starting Feb. 9.
