European Night of Museums is an occasion in which thousands of museums in dozens of countries across Europe open their doors free of charge in the evening and into the night, offering various activities and special exhibitions.
France’s Ministry of Culture and Communication has organised the event since 2005 with participating museums from 39 member countries of the Council of Europe. On showcase during this year’s 18th edition will be an array of permanent collections and temporary exhibitions to discover. What can I expect to see? You can expect immersive installations, mixed reality exhibitions, drones, data sculptures, candles, lights, NFT workshops and an outpour of culture. Les Abattoirs in Toulouse, France, will have 150 drones, piloted by three collectives of augmented music composers, sing the 5th symphony of Beethoven during an open-air concert. Can I take part virtually? In 2020, due to COVID-19 restrictions, the Night of Museums was fully digital, some aspects of that remain this year. Some events and collections will be made available in the specially curated “metaverse” designed for the occasion. A drone performance, for example, will be broadcasted live, which can be accessed through your mobile phone. Full story here
