A moonlight stroll to visit the best of Italy's archaeology and monuments
Palazzo Ducale - Mantua
Beginning Saturday, July 27th, the Italian Ministry for Cultural Heritage and Activities and Tourism (MIBAC) hosts “Night at the Museum” every last Saturday of the month until the end of this year. Various State archaeological areas and museums (38 sites in total) will be open during these special Saturday evenings from 8PM to Midnight.
The project was conceived and realized in collaboration with the Directorate for Valorization that, together with MIBAC, was able to create a pilot plan with the goal of making “Night at the Museum” a regular event. Its objective is to cultivate a more ample cultural offering that will leave tourists in particular (but not only) with unforgettable memories of their experience in Bell’Italia.
“I have worked hard on this project,” declared Massimo Bray, Minister of Cultural Heritage and Tourism, “and it brings our museums closer to European standards. We intend to call the public’s attention to the importance that these places possess, particularly as a promotional vehicle for Italy’s economic development. Both citizens and tourists will now have the opportunity to learn about and admire Italian cultural heritage ‘after hours.’”
The event will run until September 2013 at participating archaeological sites, and until December 2013 in participating museums.
