Tampa Museum of Art Offers Free Admission on
Smithsonian Magazine’s 6th Annual Museum Day

On Saturday, September 25, 2010, the Tampa Museum of Art will participate in the sixth annual Museum Day, presented by Toyota on behalf of the redesigned 2011 Avalon. The Tampa Museum of Art will join participating museums and cultural institutions nationwide to open their doors free of charge to all visitors who download the Museum Day Tick…et from Smithsonian.com. A journey to celebrate our world’s dynamic heritage and cultural life, participating Museum Day venues emulate the free admission policy of the Smithsonian Institution’s Washington, D.C.-based facilities.

This year, Museum Day sponsor Toyota is enhancing the visitor experience at the Tampa Museum of Art and the debut of The American Impressionists in the Garden exhibition. On-site activities at the museum include docent tours at 1:00, 2:00 & 3:00pm, interactive trivia contests and great giveaways. In Smithsonian magazine in-book and online, Toyota will also present the “Featured Five,” a listing that encourages visitors to learn about and visit participating museums and venues. Additionally, for each visitor who inquires about the new Toyota Avalon online, Toyota will donate $1—up to $10,000 total—to museum programming nationwide.

Museum Day 2010 is poised to be the largest to date, outdoing last year’s record-breaking event. Over 300,000 museum-goers and 1,300 venues in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico participated in Museum Day 2009. Last year, two million visitors logged on to www.smithsonian.com/museumday to learn more about the program.

The Tampa Museum of Art is pleased to present The American Impressionists in the Garden, an exhibition organized by Cheekwood Botanical Garden and Museum of Art in Nashville, Tennessee, that explores the theme of the garden in American art and society of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries during the celebration of Museum Day.

The Museum Day Ticket is available to download at www.smithsonian.com/museumday. Visitors who present the official pass will gain free admission for two people to participating museums and cultural venues. One ticket is permitted per household, per email address. Listings and links to participating museums’ and sponsors’ sites can be found at www.smithsonian.com/museumday.
