International Museum Day
Started celebrating in 1977 different cities peace. Every year more and more people join the festival different museums. Museum Day is celebrated in mid-May on a day off. In many cities around the world doors famous museums and exhibition centers are open for night visits.
Night walks through exhibitions have become fashionable relatively recently. But they've already captured the whole world. Finally, the tradition has reached Russia.
The date was moved to the first nearest day off - May 20. The holiday was established by the Government. But our Government has not decided that cultural centers must work for free. Special program takes place on the initiative of the city museums themselves.
Some will make entry completely free, while for others free visits will start only from 18:00. The price is symbolic. It's Saturday, so you can make a whole raid around the city and visit several interesting places.
Practice shows that most museums open their doors on May holidays. Muscovites and tourists can go to their favorite exhibitions for free. We think this is a great idea.
The international campaign is aimed at attracting young people. This is not just a boring walk among antiquities, but a whole event. Imagine - all evening or even night, high spirits reign. The guides depart from the standard program and tell you something exciting.
Moscow has been holding such an event for 8 years already, people are looking forward to next year to visit again more museums. also welcomes everyone who wants to take a walk and listen to a guide.

Program of the VIII regional event “Night at the Museum”

There will also be a scientific quest, an exhibition and sale of paintings, open lessons and competitions. There will be a screening in the museum courtyard theatrical production with the participation of actors from the Kolomna theater "Pilgrim".

In addition, here guests will be allowed to ride on original Russian attractions, will be invited to stroll around the fair and, of course, appreciate the permanent and temporary exhibitions of the museum.
Every year, the A.P. Chekhov Museum-Reserve “Melikhovo” surprises guests of the “Night of Museums” with something new and extraordinary. On May 20, the estate will turn into a kingdom of art: the entire territory will be involved in the event. First, those who come will find themselves in the music room, where they will hear the legendary works of P. I. Tchaikovsky performed live. Then everyone will move to the courtyard to spend time watching the movie "Joker" on fresh air.

“Night of Museums”: the birth of a tradition
“Night of Museums” is a great opportunity to establish professional connections and contacts. The atmosphere of this event encourages creativity, openness, empowerment and embodiment of ideas. On this night, the city comes alive, passionate discussions, enthusiastic exclamations and inspiring conversations are heard everywhere.
Thus, today “Night of Museums” is one of the largest and most successful events in the cultural sphere of life in our society. How did it all begin and how did a modest event become a global tradition of a mass nature? Moscow became one of two cities (along with) that for the first time allowed the atmosphere of the “Night of Museums” into its numerous museums. Today, the scale of this event in our capital is growing from year to year: if for the first time only a few museums took part in it, this year the number of sites is expected to reach hundreds. What can we say about the number of visitors! Already in the debut year of 2007, thousands of people were glad to become a direct participant in the “Night”, and in last time, in 2013, their number was more than one hundred thousand.
To the surprise of the organizers, the event caused a stir among the townspeople and was ultimately received with delight by the public. The special romance that reigns in museums when the sun sets and artificial lighting turns on has done its job: people fell in love with the exhibitions and felt the importance cultural heritage and immediately began an active discussion about what the Long Night would be like next year. And the museum directorates unanimously decided that they would develop specially for this event original programs. The pioneer of this event is the capital of Germany, Berlin, whose administration in 1997 decided to take extreme measures in an attempt to increase the interest of citizens in the culture of their city and people. Captivated by their own affairs and nightly amusements in clubs and bars, the Germans, especially young people, for the most part knew nothing at all about the museums and attractions of Berlin. When it became clear that any tourist could tell much more about this, the authorities decided to extend the opening hours one-time cultural sites until late in the evening and organize the so-called “Long Night of Museums”.
“Night of Museums” is an extraordinary event. On the one hand, it unites people around to the globe, because the number of participating countries has long been stable at several dozen. On the other hand, perhaps no other event so well introduces people to history, to cultural values of his people. All the charm and uniqueness of “Night” lies in these two remarkable features. To miss this event means to miss something from your life, perhaps subtle, but very important. This is how this initially not too pretentious event became an annual tradition in the German capital. A little later, inspiration from the “Night of Museums” overtook the French, who organized a very similar event - “Spring of Museums”. Only a few years later, when the whole of Europe got excited about the idea of making this event officially international, “Night of Museums” received its final name and a precisely formulated date - the third Saturday of May. On the same day, “International Museum Day” has been celebrated since 1977.
This year the “Night at the Museum” event will take place on May 20 and 21, its motto is “Time of Discovery.” In the capital alone, about 200 cultural institutions, public and private, prepared their events.
Main trend recent years: This time they decided to include queues at the museum in the entertainment program. Musicians and theater performers will travel around the city and perform next to the longest lines.
Another innovation of the festival will be “ secret places» – small city museums with special events, creative meetings and excursions, which Alexander Kibovsky, head of the capital’s department of culture, called for attention.
Visitors are also invited to act as guides themselves by recording a short video (up to 90 seconds) about their favorite exhibit, exhibition or the museum itself and posting it on social networks with the event hashtags #night of museums 2017, #culturalarf, #I am a tour guide and with the museum hashtag.
The map of Night at the Museum events can be viewed on the official website of the event in Moscow and throughout the country, and we, in turn, have selected some worthy visits.
