The Travel Channel’s online article Top Ten Free US Museums, featuring organizations from New York to Los Angeles and Maryland to Texas, includes Seattle’s own Frye Art Museum.

According to the network’s website, “whether you’re looking for ancient artifacts or colorful paintings, the best things in life certainly are free at the country’s best no-fee museums.” The list of top free museums includes the Smithsonian Museums, Washington, DC; Getty Center, Los Angeles, California; Walters Art Museum, Baltimore, Maryland; National Museum of Mexican Art, Chicago, Illinois; Museum of Contemporary Photography, Chicago, Illinois; Alamo, San Antonio, Texas; Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, Ohio; Museum at Fashion Institute of Technology, New York, New York; and Baltimore Museum of Art, Baltimore, Maryland.

The Frye Art Museum was noted for “carrying on the legacy of its founders and bringing free art to the larger Seattle community since 1952. In addition to the free exhibits at the museum, visitors can participate in Art Talks with curators and educators, 1-hour interactive Guided Tours and the Magic Lantern series with screenings and talks on the art of film. For a real splurge, pay $5 for a Tuesday Tea and Tour event which includes a guided stroll through the galleries followed by some discussion over tea and snacks.”
