Night of Museums to be held on June 21 and will feature 2,700 programs

Balázs Hankó, the culture and innovation minister, said on Wednesday that the Night of Museums will be held on June 21 and feature some 2,700 programs at 470 public locations.

Last year, more than 330,000 visitors attended the event, Hankó said. “The Night of Museums is a miracle when hundreds of thousands visit our museums in the whole Carpathian Basin.”

“Visiting museums is a program for young people, children, families and generations,” he said, where “we experience all that makes us a nation, all that makes us Hungarians.”

This year is special as programs of the memorial year marking the 200th anniversary of the birth of author Mor Jokai are also joining the event.
