Museum Day 2010 | Smithsonian.com

Mark this date on your calendar! Museum Day is great! You can look up the participating museums in your area here and print out a free admission pass for you and a guest for Sept. 25th The kids and I went to the Queen Emma Summer Palace a few years ago on Museum Day. At that time, there was a royal quilts exhibition and I was mesmerized by the gorgeous (and fragile) textiles. In particular, I was fascinated with a piece of kapa that Mary Kawena Pukui dated as pre Captain Cook (that's pre-1770s, people!).

This year, we want to go to 'Iolani Palace. I've been wanting to see the palace for years but there was always one thing or another to keep me from going. I can't wait!
