If you’ve been longing to play croquet, learn about the French role in the American Revolution, hear some jazz and log some steps—without dropping any coin—this is your weekend.

On Saturday and Sunday, five museums that normally come with a $10-$12 admission fee each are open to the public gratis as part of the 36th annual Dupont Kalorama Museums Consortium Walk Weekend. It’s a program that the consortium, founded in 1983, created to showcase museums that might get a little less foot traffic than the Mall variety.

Anderson House, Dumbarton House, the National Museum of American Jewish Military History, The Phillips Collection, and The President Woodrow Wilson House are all open for walk-ins, and visitors may stop by in any order they choose.

In addition to the art and history exhibits on view, each museum is also offering special programs unique to the weekend event, which typically attracts about 5,000 visitors.

At the Phillips Collection (currently home to some fantastic wooden sculptures), visitors will get a preview of the annual DC JazzFest at Jazz ’N Families Fun Days. The two-day event includes performances from trumpeter Donvonte McCoy, vocalist Coniece Washington, drummer Dante Pope, and several other notable D.C.-area jazz artists. And younger listeners can sample an instrument “petting zoo” (we’re visualizing a zebra-shaped xylophone) and enjoy some storytelling and art workshops.

If you stop by the Woodrow Wilson House, where the former president lived nearly a century ago, you can try your hand at croquet in a freshly restored garden or create a custom ceramic tile in response to the Migrations exhibit by Lebanese-born, D.C. artist Helen Zughaib, inspired by Harlem Renaissance artist Jacob Lawrence’s formative Migration Series.

And at Dumbarton House, explore how STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) are used in artifact-preservation techniques before crafting a nifty plaster-mold magnet for the road.

The consortium has also taken some of the guesswork out of creating a route to visit all five museums: They charted out walking paths last year in a few handy videos.

The Dupont Kalorama Museums Consortium Walk Weekend will be held rain or shine. Museums are open 11 a.m.-4 p.m. both days. (The Phillips Collection is open 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday and noon-6:30 p.m. Sunday). Note that some museums are not fully ADA accessible.
