The Long Night of Museums
The Long Night of Museums is an annual event during which museums, galleries, and other cultural institutions open their collections to visitors free of charge or for a symbolic fee—often after dark.
This year, we are also joining this international initiative! On May 17, outside regular opening hours, The Museum of Warsaw and its branches will be open in the evening. On this day, we invite you to experience unique night-time tours of exhibitions and historic buildings.
