More than 100 museums, libraries, parks and other venues of Saint Petersburg are taking part in the Museum Night this year. Even if you have an ardent desire to visit all of them in one night - it is unrealistic. But this is no reason to lose heart. Choose the ones that are most interesting for you, and go for it! Let's have a look at a historic shipyard, spend the night among the stars, and grasp the laws of macro and microcosm.

Museum Night at Museum of St. Petersburg Art of the 20th – 21st Centuries
