The European Night of Museums is back again in 2026, offering special evening openings, free admission or admission for a nominal fee, and a packed programme of cultural events across the whole of Italy. A unique opportunity to discover museums, archaeological sites and art venues in a completely different light. Throughout the evening, hundreds of museums and cultural sites will offer free or €1 evening admission, night-time guided tours, live concerts and performances, exclusive exhibitions and events, and family activities.
Visiting a museum at night means discovering art in a different way: with soft lighting, fewer crowds and a unique atmosphere that makes every visit even more exciting.
In addition to major urban centres such as Rome, Florence, Milan, Naples and Turin, the European Night of Museums is the perfect opportunity to explore Italian villages, where culture and tradition come together in unique settings. In many small towns, municipal museums, historic buildings and lesser-known venues open their doors, often offering special events, tastings and local performances. At these destinations, you can experience European Night of Museums away from the crowds, in a more intimate and authentic setting.
Visit Italia.it to plan your European Night of Museums and discover both the major events in the big cities and the activities in lesser-known villages.
