Free pass to Art Galleries

dll

It seems from the wesbite that it's free entry, not just to exhibitions inside. Hope that helps.

I've just received my 3-month Art Pass in the post - it is valid until 31/8/11, so more like a 3 1/2-month pass!

If I'm not mistaken, to get into Kew Palace you have to pay the Kew Gardens entrance.

Not such a bargain then as Kew Gardens costs £13.90

Would recommend the Foundling Museum, though it's heartbreaking too. The Foundling Hospital was founded in the 1700s as a place for women to take their children to if they couldn't afford to keep them. Part of the exhibition is a display of little tokens some of the mothers had left with their babies - sometimes just a button or a ribbon, but absolutely heartbreaking. It's very interesting to visit.

It's only a short walk from the Charles Dickens Museum so you could easily do both on the same day and then perhaps explore Lincoln's Inn Fields http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lincoln's_Inn_Fields which is nearby.
