Every year on Indigenous Peoples' Day, the Fenway Alliance’s Opening Our Doors Festival offers free admission to museums around the city. While not part of Opening Our Doors, the ICA is also offering free admission for all on Mon Oct 14th.


1) The Mapparium


One of Boston's best-kept secrets, The Mapparium, is free on Monday, 10/14 from 10am-4pm. Dive into the world of Mary Baker Eddy with a free visit to the "How Do You See the World?" experience and the stunning Mapparium globe, plus enjoy guided tours of The Mother Church and two organ concerts (one just for kids). Kids can grab a "passport" to get stamped at each activity location while exploring the plaza, all as part of the "Opening Our Doors" event.


2) Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum


Celebrate Indigenous Peoples’ Day at the Gardner Museum with a free day of hands-on clay art-making, self-guided gallery activities, interactive musical storytelling, and native plant talks in the museum’s gardens—all centered around the theme “Connection to Place.”


3) Museum of Fine Arts


Enjoy gallery tours, family art-making, and performances honoring Native American and Indigenous heritage. Meet local partners, join pottery workshops, and experience cultural demonstrations by Indigenous artists like Haley Peters and Annawon Weeden.


4) Institute of Contemporary Art


Be sure to reserve your tickets starting Sunday, 10/13 at 10am. Explore the newest exhibition at the museum and enjoy works on view. From 12–4pm, drop by the Bank of America Art Lab for hands-on art-making (first-come, first-serve).
