“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 all over 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.
The eleventh “Night at the Museum” in Moscow 2017 will take place from May 20 to 21. This year the program creative meetings, excursions, lectures, concerts and performances. Also this year, Muscovites will open secret places. It is expected that more than 200 galleries and art centers of the city will take part in the action. Participants of the action will not be bored. According to the head of the capital's department of culture, Alexander Kibovsky, about 500 events have been prepared for them. Theatres, parks and libraries are also taking part in the event, some for the first time.
