Captains!
We’re very proud to announce the return of the Longest Night of Museums for its third consecutive year! This time, we’re returning to an international megastream format that will take you on a live virtual tour of maritime museums around the world. And, of course, you can also expect a multitude of interactive activities, historical discussion panels, and unique giveaways!
What is the Longest Night of Museums? This event began in 2021 as a way to celebrate International Museums Day during the pandemic by providing an innovative way of experiencing museums from our own homes. The event was so well received that we repeated it in 2022 with a series of informative articles and even more rewards. |
