European Night of Museums

Before us on next weekend one of the biggest mass cultural events - European Night of Museums. Most of the events are planned from saturday on sunday but Cracow will start earlier on Friday. Warsaw beats the competition with number of museums and galleries that take part in the enterprise. This year will be more than 130 of them.

Number of entries that the museums note within a few hours that night measure up the greatest records of lasting for long months exhibitions.

The Night of Museums means not only sightseeing but also many other atractions - from concerts and theatrical performances too relish tasting and flying baloon.

More than 20 Cracow posts will be open at 7 p.m. on Friday, 16th May. The ticket will be a coin worth 1 zloty, especially minted for this occassion. The National Museum which four years ago initialised the action in Cracow, invites to five of its posts and to the castle in Niepołomice which exhibits a collection from Sukiennice. Bigger attendance than last year is expected - when 45 thousand people came.

In Cracow the Night of Museums is entitled "1918 - free Cracow". Among the propositions w may find: concerts of patriotic songs, battle drill show, peas soup ( Armia Krajowa Museum - Polish Home Army Museum) and knightly battles ( Barbacan). One will have opportiunity to go underground (Museum Żup Krakowskich Wieliczka).
