The Gardner Museum joins other Fenway organizations in offering free admission on Columbus Day to celebrate Opening Our Doors Day.

• Free timed tickets will be available at the Museum entrance on Monday, October 8 starting at 10 am.
• To ensure everyone’s experience at the Museum is pleasant, tickets are timed for entry every 30 minutes beginning at 10 am, with the last entry at 4 pm.
• Tickets will be distributed until Museum capacity for the entire day is reached, so the ticket(s) you receive may be for a time slot an hour or two later than you arrive.
• Admission includes access to the entire Museum.
