If you're looking for something to do this weekend that may be a little different for you, maybe a trip to a local museum might be the ticket.

Well, actually, you won't need a ticket, because there's a good chance it will be free.

The Smithsonian Magazine Museum Day is this Saturday, September 22 and visitors of eight participating Acadiana museums will be able to get in for no charge.
