What is Museum night?

Once a year something exciting happens: European Museum Night! It is an opportunity for big cities all over Europe to open their museums for free and put on special events to wow visitors. It’s a great opportunity to explore and discover new things about art, history, and science. So mark your calendar 13th of May and get ready to pump some intellectual blood.

Most museums in Bucharest will be open to the public for free but what Dracula really recommends is visiting buildings you cannot access during the year. Museums are available at any time but historical administrative buildings are not… Also you will need to be extremely patient, it can get really crowded!
