The European Night of Museums

Museum Night is based on a simple principle: invest museums to better reveal their treasures and allow easier access to culture. In order to guarantee the safety of visitors and participating teams, it will be conducted in strict compliance with the health protocols in force in each territory at the time of the event.

This Night of Museums will once again allow visitors to appropriate the museums and to (re)discover them until late at night, according to the exhibitions and exceptional events organized for the occasion. Organized by the Ministry of Culture, it is placed under the triple patronage of the Council of Europe, UNESCO and ICOM and the institutional support of the French Federation of Societies of Friends of Museums and the Reunion of National Museums - Grand Palais.

As in previous editions, "Night" inspires the creativity and imagination of museums.
