We believe that culture is safe and if we do it with the necessary measures, we will be able to continue having cultural events, but always very adapted to the current circumstances, ”concluded the Youth Councilor.The European Night of Museums, which has always been held very close to the commemoration of International Museum Day (May 18), was an initiative created by the French Department of Culture in 2005, in which thousands of museums from all over Europe open their doors every year for free to a unique opportunity for the public to discover the richness and diversity of museum spaces.
For their part, the museums offer a program of special activities for this original evening aimed at all audiences.
