You can see the Mona Lisa for free if you plan ahead. You will find her at the Louvre museum, one of the most popular museums in Paris.

While general admission is about $12 (€9) for a full day pass and about $8 (€6) from 6 p.m. to 9:45 p.m., admission is free all day on the first Sunday of each month and on July 14, which is Bastille Day (similar to Independence Day in the U.S.). But go EARLY; as lines can be very long on free days!

Kids under the age of 18 can visit for free, as can disabled visitors and their guests or helpers. If you can prove that you are a teacher of art, art history, or the applied arts, enjoy free admission.

New York City Waterfalls

August 18, 2008 · Filed Under Attractions, Freebies, Fun Stuff, United States · Comment 

The New York City Waterfalls is a major work of public art that will be on display through October 13. The exhibition of four man-made waterfalls of monumental scale are on view on the shores of the New York waterfront: one on the Brooklyn anchorage of the Brooklyn Bridge; one on the Brooklyn Piers, between Piers 4 and 5 near the Brooklyn Heights Promenade; one in Lower Manhattan at Pier 35 north of the Manhattan Bridge; and one on the north shore of Governors Island. The Waterfalls, which have been designed to protect water quality and aquatic life, operate from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily, except Tuesdays and Thursdays when they run from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. The Waterfalls are lit after sunset.  Go to their website to find out free and inexpensive ways to view the waterfalls by land and by boat.
