This weekend we’ll have a special edition of Museum Night in May 2026. There will be free concerts and even stargazing with telescopes. Only a few venues are participating, so hurry up and reserve your spot.
May 18 marks International Museum Day; however, the celebrations will begin earlier. That’s why there will be two Museum Nights this month : the first on Sunday, May 17, and the second on Wednesday, May 27.
