Use your day off for Martin Luther King Jr. Day to immerse yourself and your family in art — all for free at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. LACMA admission is free for all on Monday, Jan. 16 as part of a Target Free Holiday Monday sponsorship. The L.A. art museum opens at Noon and closes at 8PM.

The free admission day includes a host of special free activities including bilingual tours. Be sure to check out LACMA’s exhibition Contested Visions in the Spanish Colonial World, where you’ll discover the importance of indigenous art forms from the Aztec and Inca during the colonial period. On Monday, the Peruvian Ensemble, representing the Inca, performs live music from the Andes on the museum’s plaza at 12:30PM and 2:45PM.

While admission is free, you must reserve a general admission ticket. Call 323-857-6010 or reserve the ticket online.

On free admission days, LACMA’s Boone Children’s Gallery is one of the most popular and therefore congested parts of the museum. So tickets to the gallery are separate, timed and distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. Pick up your free timed ticket in the Boone Children’s Gallery on Monday. Timed tickets only allow for a 30-minute minute visit.

Thank you to Twitter follower @elisebee for reminding us of this free fun opportunity!

Joy to the free!
