La Notte dei Musei returns on May 21, 2016 with €1 entry across Italy
On May 21, 2016, the 12th edition of La Notte dei Musei, coinciding with International Museum Day, will take place. Participating museums will remain open for an additional three hours, with admission priced at one euro. For the second consecutive year, the Italian website is unavailable due to insufficient sponsorship, depending instead on the MiBACT portal. Among the scheduled activities are the Villa della Regina in Turin (open until 21:00), Galleria Campari in Sesto San Giovanni featuring Barbara Probst's Different Perspective, Museo del Gioiello in Vicenza, and a fisarmonica performance at Museo Archeologico di Aquileia. No events are planned for Liguria, Sardinia, Trentino, or Valle d'Aosta.
