Gifted Atlanta

It’s that time of year again: This Saturday, Sept. 28, is the Smithsonian Magazine’s annual Museum Day, offering free admission to dozens of participating museums in Georgia.

Venues in the Atlanta area include the Center for Puppetry Arts, Museum of Design Atlanta, and the Marietta Museum of History. (Sorry, folks, looks like The High Museum opted not to take part this year.)

Three things you need to know:

1) You can’t just show up at the door. You have to register and print out your tickets before you go.

2) There is a limit of two free admissions per household.

3) This is a popular event. Be prepared to stand in line.
