Free Fridays Invite Families to Explore the Evansville Museum
There’s no better time to discover a local treasure than on Free Fridays at the Evansville Museum of Arts, History & Science. On the first Friday of each month from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM, admission is free — giving families, friends, and curious minds the perfect chance to explore one of Evansville’s most engaging attractions without the price tag.
Whether it's your first visit or a return trip, there's always something new to experience. Step back in time and learn about Evansville’s role on the home front during World War II, get hands-on with interactive science exhibits, or take a seat in the Koch Immersive Theater & Planetarium to gaze at the stars. Art lovers will also find inspiration in the museum’s permanent collection — including a piece by none other than Pablo Picasso, proudly displayed in the Koch Foundation Gallery.
Free Fridays offer a great reminder that you don’t have to travel far to explore something meaningful. Museums like this one create a space for families to connect, for locals to see their city through new eyes, and for visitors to understand what makes Evansville so distinct. It’s these shared experiences — rooted in both history and imagination — that help shape a city’s identity.
So whether you're bringing the kids, meeting up with a friend, or just looking to spend a quiet afternoon surrounded by art and ideas, make the most of Free Fridays at the Evansville Museum. It’s a chance to explore, learn, and enjoy — all in one place, and all for free.
