Next year on May 16, 2009 will be the 5th annual The Night of Museums, not only in Paris, but across Europe when 2,000 museums will open their doors on this Saturday evening as a free, social event for everyone.
Organized by the French Ministry of Culture and Communication, 130 museums in Paris will participate including the Louvre, the Rodin Museum (pictured) and the National Gallery of the Grand Palace to name a few. This is a special event when you'll be able to roam some of the world's finest museums until 11:30 PM or midnight!
The evening will include light shows, musical performances, and contemporary art installations alongside permanent exhibitions. For further information, visit the official site of La Nuit des Musées. (site also available in english)
