Kimbell Art Museum doesn't need savings math — the ticket line is free for everyone, every open day. The only costs left are the extras — special exhibitions, parking and food are where the day's budget actually goes. For anyone outside the free group, regular admission runs $8.
Kimbell Art Museum doesn't need a calendar — general admission is free every day it's open, which changes how you plan compared with a free-day museum. There's no crowd spike to dodge and no reservation race — though note the entry mechanics: not required for the permanent collection; half-price exhibition tickets are box-office-only except Tuesdays (online available). The date that matters here isn't an admission date at all: it's whichever ticketed special exhibition you might want to add, since those (permanent collection, always) run on their own schedules and prices.
