From 2nd Saturdays Downtown website for February 11 – nine museums free unless otherwise noted. Just remember their respective hours of operation:

La Pilita Museum 420 S. Main Ave., 11am-2pm, also offering Barrio walking guide books

Presidio San Agustin del Tucson 133 W. Washington, 10am-4pm

Southern Arizona Transportation Museum 414 N. Toole, 10am-5pm

Tucson Museum of Art 140 N. Main Ave., 10am-6pm

Science Downtown: “Mars & Beyond” 300 E. Congress St., 9am-9pm

Sacred Machine 245 E. Congress St., 4pm-11pm

Children’s Museum Tucson 200 S. Sixth Ave., 10am-5pm

MOCA (Museum of Contemporary Art) 265 S. Church Ave., 12pm-5pm

Great way to see these art, history, science exhibits for free. Thanks to all the sponsors that made this happen for families and adults in Tucson, as I know there are normally fees at some of these museums (i.e. Science Downtown, Museum of Art, Children’s Museum Tucson, MOCA).

And read my other blog about all the rest of the events happening downtown on Feb. 10, 11, and 12 for the Arizona Centennial birthday celebrations (http://tucsoncitizen.com/community/2012/02/08/3-days-of-celebration-for-arizonas-100th-birthday-feb-10-11-12/).

    Visited the Tucson Museum of Art & viewed photo show on Frida Kahlo — more than I ever needed to know about her, her husband (twice) Diego
    Rivera, their numerous lovers, etc.  Hope to view Science Downtown later today.
