La nit dels museus 2024
By Charlotte Stace
Calling all culture vultures - for one night the museums of Barcelona open their doors to the public for free until past midnight as part of Nits dels Museus. More than 87 museum, gallery and heritage spaces will be open to you around Barcelona and beyond.
Heritage spaces, temporary exhibitions and permanent collections coexist during this unusual evening with activities for all ages, such as guided tours and workshops. In addition, there will be concerts, recitals and poetry, dance and theatre shows. This year’s Nits dels Museus coincides with Museum Day, so there are even more activities throughout the day for the whole family to enjoy.
This initiative was launched in 1997 in Berlin and has since spread to thousands of museums and over a hundred cities around the world. The event is organised by the Council of Europe and aims to raise awareness on the importance of museums to the development of society.
