The international event "Night of Museums" has been held since 1997, with the main goal of showcasing the resources, capabilities, and potential of modern museums, attracting young people to museums. Origin: The first "Night of Museums" was held in Berlin in 1997. In 1999, at the initiative of the French Ministry of Culture and Communication, this event was expanded: all French museums were invited to offer free access to visitors on a spring Sunday. In 2024, the "Night of Museums" will take place from May 18 to 19. The theme of the "Night of Museums" in 2024 is "From Generation to Generation. Family Heirlooms," taking place within the Year of the Family. Family heirlooms are doubly valuable. It is an annual event during which many museums open their doors to all visitors. In some places, entry becomes free, in others, there is a substantial discount. For example, on May 18, the Historical Museum will be open until 11:00 PM and offers a 50% discount on tickets (https://shm.ru/shows/38939/), so a ticket for an adult will cost 300 rubles, but this is not the only offer. It is important to follow the announcements, especially since the project has its own website (https://museumnight.culture.ru/).
