Downtown Berkeley, Berkeley
🎟️Admission is free from 5–8pm, but film tickets still cost extra—check the calendar if you want to catch a screening.
🚗Street parking is brutal; take BART to Downtown Berkeley and walk 5 minutes.
☕The museum café stays open late—perfect for a pre-gallery espresso or post-film wind-down.
Hit the Berkeley Art Museum on the first Thursday of the month for free admission, live music, and film screenings that turn a weeknight into a cultural adventure.
