Brady Smith, Heinz History Center spokesman, expects the Strip District museum to be “very free and very busy” on Sept. 21.
This year’s Smithsonian Magazine Museum Day coincides with the date the Allegheny Regional Asset District has selected for free admission to the History Center as part of its RADical Days.
The History Center is Pittsburgh’s only Smithsonian affiliate, Smith notes.
He adds that “The Vietnam War: 1945-1975” exhibit concludes Sept. 22.
“That (Sept. 21) will be a really good opportunity before it ends to see it for free,” Smith says.
