For Americans wishing to block out the noise of Donald Trump’s inauguration in Washington tomorrow museums across the US are offering refuge with may offering free or pay-what-you-wish admission.

In New York City for instance, the Whitney Museum will offer artists, writers and activists a stage to release their agony and idealism. It’s also hosting a participatory discussion about identity, immigration, race, and democracy.

The Baltimore Museum of Art is hosting a “nonpartisan event” with readings, tours and performances.  The museums director says they want everyone to know the Museum is a safe haven during a time of change.  However, many other institutions are transforming their galleries into spaces for political expression.
