(14/15.05.2010)

The first Museum Night was organised in Krakow in 2004, following the example of the Berlin “Lange Nacht der Museen”. The idea behind it is to make museums available to the public on a chosen night in May – it’s already been a tradition to organise the Museum Night in the middle of May on a Friday/Saturday night. Every year the programme evolves around a central idea, such as “The Past of the Future” (2006), “90th Anniversary of Poland’s Regaining Independence” (2008) or “Krakow Museums of the 21st Century” (2009). The organisers always prepare special attractions such as showpiece lessons conducted in museums, workshops for children and adults, knights’ tournaments, multimedia presentations and concerts held in period interiors.
