Several local museums are participating in the Blue Stars Museums program in collaboration with the Blue Star Families, the Department of Defense and the National Endowment of the Arts through Labor Day Weekend.
In the Tampa Bay Region, the Museum of Science and Industry, or MOSI, the Imagine Museum in St. Petersburg and the Henry Plant Museum at the University of Tampa are all offering free entry to veterans and their families.
