Whatcom Museum Free First Friday - Our Collection

On each first Friday of the month, the Whatcom Museum has free admission, extended hours until 9 pm, and special free programming! Each month, we’ll bring a different mix of artists, performers, and experts to lead workshops and activities for all ages. View our local history, fine art, and Indigenous cultures exhibitions in the Lightcatcher and Old City Hall (don’t forget the birds!), visit the Family Interactive Gallery for special crafts and programs for children, and check out the calendar on our website to see the incredible events we’re lining up. 

Whether you’re a longtime member of the Whatcom Museum or just visiting Bellingham for the weekend, we’ll have something for everyone on Free First Fridays, which are generously supported by Art Bridges Foundation’s Access for All program.
