Museum Night 2026: “Native” Across Russia

02:27
Starting May 16, the country is hosting the юбилейная 20th All-Russian “Museum Night” campaign. This year’s theme is “Native.”

More than 170 venues in Moscow and thousands across the regions are open free of charge until late at night.

The program includes secret tours, nighttime concerts, workshops, poetry readings, and special projects dedicated to local history and cultural heritage. In Moscow — from the Pushkin Museum and the Tretyakov Gallery to district museums and unexpected venues. In St. Petersburg, Yekaterinburg, Novosibirsk, and smaller cities — their own programs with a focus on what is “native.”

This is one of the largest cultural events of the year — an opportunity to see museums in a new light and feel a connection with what is close to home.
