You Won't Need a Pass to Visit the NMAAHC on Weekdays Through February

Visitors will be able to enter the museum on a first-come, first-served basis on weekdays starting at 10 a.m.

You'll now have more opportunities to visit the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC).

From Labor Day through February, you won't need a pass to enter the museum on weekdays, the NMAAHC announced over the weekend. Visitors will be able to enter the museum on a first-come, first-served basis on weekdays starting at 10 a.m.

You will, however, still need a timed-entry pass on weekends. You can get same-day passes for weekends online.

In addition, advance timed passes for Saturdays and Sundays in December will become available starting Wednesday at 9 a.m. You'll be able to search for advance timed passes for Dec. 1 and the weekends of Dec. 7-8, 14-15, 21-22 and 28-29.

You can also reserve passes by phone by calling 844-750-3012.

Admission and passes are free.

If you're visiting on a day that passes are required, remember that everyone in your group will need his or her own pass, including babies. In addition, the museum will continue to require advance timed-entry passes every day for groups of 10 or more.
