Why aren't museums and galleries open in the evening?

Pericle Guaglianone argues that museums and galleries should be open in the evening rather than during the day, citing psychological and practical reasons. He references a 1950 article by Alberto Savinio, who claimed reading newspapers in the evening is immoral, as the soul seeks more visionary experiences after sunset. Guaglianone notes that theaters, concerts, and cinemas operate primarily in the evening, yet art spaces follow office hours. He dismisses objections about workers' schedules, pointing out that cultural workers in other sectors work evenings. He also observes that exhibition openings are crowded, but subsequent days are deserted, attributing this to inaccessible evening hours. The article was published on Artribune in 2019.
