I received information from a coworker about Free Museum day on 9/26 and noted several venues that were supposedly free on 9/27 also. SMoCA was one. However, we were charged the regular $5 when we got there. That isn't much, but we were of course disappointed that it wasn't free. We were more disappointed that they only had 2 exhibits open. I will give it another try after verifying that it's "free day," but it was frankly a pretty lame experience.
