museum night

After-hours gallery visit

Museum night refers to special evening hours when museums stay open late, often with reduced admission or free entry.

Many cities coordinate these events across multiple institutions: We hit three galleries on museum night.

The extended hours typically feature additional programming—live music, lectures, or themed activities that transform the daytime experience into social outings.
