What is Boca Raton Museum of Art: Thursday Late Hours?
The Boca Raton Museum of Art sits on the north end of Mizner Park in downtown Boca Raton. Its galleries show rotating contemporary and historic exhibitions alongside the permanent collection.
Thursday is the museum's late day: it stays open until 8 PM, three hours longer than the rest of the week. That makes Thursday afternoons and evenings the easiest time to fit in a visit after work or before dinner in Mizner Park. Earlier listings on this site described a free community Thursday; the museum's own visit page does not currently list one, so check it before you count on free entry.
