A night of culture
Museums are places where people find peace. Museums, at night, become something much more special: visit the Nit del Museus!
Save the date: 13th of May, 2023
On the 13th of May 2023, Barcelona celebrates The Long Night of Museums. As the name says, it's a night when museums open their doors for free from 19:00 to 01:00 (note the “for free” quality of the event). It's a great way to see the exhibitions differently because both the permanent and temporary collections change in the light of night. In addition, the Nit dels Museums (in Catalan) offers the opportunity to enjoy activities for all ages, such as family workshops, live performances and guided tours.
This global event began in Berlin in 1997 and is now held in 120 European cities. In Barcelona, many centres specialising in art, archaeology, history, authors, ethnology, palaeontology, ceramics, zoology, film, design and much more participate.

Better plan ahead
Free museums in Barcelona? Yes, please! As it is an event that attracts many people, there are considerable queues to get into museums, especially those that are more central or famous. Plan your visit and see if it's worth the wait; there may be smaller museums that carry more magic on a night.
