On Saturday 19 May,the Ministry of Culture and Communication invites you to the 8th edition of European Museums Night,during which museums reveal and share their innermost secrets. Music,theatre,gastronomy,games and cinema – all the arts join hands and take over the museum all the better to highlight its contents. Night-time casts its spell,an invitation to dream.
