The new and improved Speed Art Museum is free on Saturdays! Before the expansion, the museum was free every day, but times have changed. Fortunately, there is more to see and enjoy now that museum admission is the norm. Free Sundays are named “Owsley Sundays” in honor of Owsley Brown II, who was CEO of Brown-Forman from 1993 to 2005. Free “Owsley Sundays” are made possible because of a gift to the museum. Free Sundays will continue until March 2021.
