Festival "Night of Museums"

Once a year, Russia hosts a large-scale and interesting event - the night of museums. With the end of the day, most Russian historical complexes and creative halls open their doors at night, maintaining the tradition of the whole world. On this night it is possible to visit museums under the mysterious cover of darkness. Museum Night is a worldwide day of opening doors at night. In Russia, the event is celebrated every year in May. The specific date is set differently every year. Registration for participation in this event has been open for museum complexes in Russia since December of the previous year. To clarify the list of participants, you can contact the website of the same name. This website publishes a list of places to visit every year. Another remarkable fact that distinguishes visiting the gallery halls on this day is that there is no entrance fee. Visiting exhibitions on this day is free for city residents. This rule applies only to establishments that have declared their desire to participate. Considering that the doors of exhibitions are open in many historical complexes and art galleries, it is worth carefully considering the program for visiting interesting places. It is worth remembering that on this date there is a risk of encountering a large number of visitors. When a large number of people gather, you should behave especially civilly and attentively so as not to interfere with each other’s enjoyment of the opportunities of the event. The world has been celebrating nighttime visiting of galleries for four decades. The main goal of this worldwide tradition is to attract more young people to all forms of history and art. Young people, tourists and many other people visit exhibition centers on this day also because during the day people cannot attend such cultural programs. By visiting exhibitions and galleries during this global event, Russian citizens and visitors to the country can experience the beauty of exhibits at unusual times, in unusual light and in an unusual atmosphere. Thanks to this, more and more people are interested in museum life and raising their cultural level.
