Heard Museum is free 1st Friday monthly. Free admission on First Friday evenings (confirmed via multiple official heard.org event pages, e.g. Oct 3, 2025 and Apr 3, 2026, each headlined 'First Friday | Free Admission'). Reported hours vary slightly by event listing (roughly 4-8pm, with the Coffee Cantina open until 7:30pm); some third-party listings note the program skips March. The general recurring monthly pattern and any exceptions were not stated on a single official 'program overview' page — each month has its own individual heard.org event page instead.

Eligibility: Everyone. All galleries, current exhibitions, Heardlings Family Activity Room. Skipping the ticket window here saves $26 adult (per third-party ticket sources; not itemized on the heard.org pages fetched this session) per adult.
Worth knowing: The Heard Museum doesn't publish one evergreen 'First Friday' policy page — it posts a fresh official event page for each month, so specific hours can shift slightly month to month; check the current month's own heard.org event page before publishing exact times.
Another way in free: Heard Museum participates in Bank of America's Museums on Us — cardholders get free general admission on the first full weekend of every month.
