White Night
Third edition of the "White Night" in Rome, organised through a twinning agreement with Paris: the Musei Capitolini will be open all night, from 8pm to 6am, with free admission to the museum and the current exhibition.
After the success of the past editions will take place the third edition of the White Night in Rome, promoted by Comune di Roma and Camera di Commercio in cooperation with the Ministry of National Heritage and Culture, in partnership with La Nuit Blanche of Paris.
Once again, the whole city of Rome will be open all night long, from 8pm to 6am, with a rich programme of initiatives, including art, music, theatre, cinema, shopping, while a certain regard will be dedicated to social issues as well.
The events will take place all around the town, even in places out of the beaten track: museums and archaeological sites, squares, parks and gardens, theatres, cultural spaces and art galleries, restaurants and bars, nightclubs, shopping centre, cinemas, libraries and bookshops.
The Musei Capitolini participate in this event by remaining open to visitors throughout the night.
Admission to the museums and the exhibition will be free of charge.
