The U.S. government shutdown is now in its fourth week, with no end in sight.
To help ease the load of workers effected, who are not receiving a paycheck, museums in 27 states, along with 19 orchestras are offering free admission to government workers during the shutdown.
Participating institutions range from The Metropolitan Opera in New York to the San Diego Air & Space Museum, which is home of the Apollo IX Command Module, that helped pave the way for the first walk on the Moon.
