On May 19, 2023, the next edition of the Night of Museums in Krakow will take place - an event that attracts both city residents and tourists from all over the world. This is the only opportunity to visit museums, galleries, and other cultural institutions in an extraordinary atmosphere, which open their doors for visitors on this night.
The program of the Night of Museums 2023 will include both the most popular places and those less known, but equally interesting. Numerous attractions are also planned, such as workshops, concerts, shows, and special events for the youngest. In some museums, you will also be able to see objects usually not accessible to visitors.
Organizers also offer events with a limited number of participants, such as guided tours. To participate in such an event, you should contact the institution directly and reserve a place.
The Night of Museums is also a great opportunity for families with children who want to spend time together, learning and having fun. Many institutions prepare special attractions for the youngest, such as art workshops, games, or shows, which introduce children to the fascinating world of art and culture.
The entrance fee to the facilities during the Night of Museums is a symbolic zloty. This is a unique opportunity to discover the cultural wealth of Krakow for a small price.
