Yes, unfortunately special exhibits are extra, even on the free days. That’s why I say that in the first sentence of this post. But I’ll keep the Free Day info up for people who still want to get into the museum for free. I’ve added a note lower down on the page so other people won’t miss it. Thanks for reading and commenting.
Although the general exhibits at the deYoung are free on Tuesdays, this exhibit is NOT included:

I think I’d take the “free Tuesday” thing off this page. Thank you for providing the page, though!
Diane — Just checked with COSTCO and you’re right, they no longer offer the special discount. I’ve noted this above. Thanks for the heads up. ~Kat
Unable to find Deal # 3, the Costco discount on deYoung tickets. Did they discontinue?
