Marketed together, the event seeks to introduce new individuals into the cultural institutions. The first Long Night of Museums took place in [[Berlin]] in [[1997]]. Since then, the number of participating institutions and exhibitions has risen from 12 to 125. A common entrance pass both allows visitors to access all spots and to access public transportation to reach the various spots. Because the concept has been so well-received (154,000 individuals took part in the January 2005 Berlin night), the nights have now expanded and taken place in over 120 cities. In addition to the ''Langen Nacht der Museen'' in Berlin, a ''Nuit Blanche'' has taken place in [[Paris]] and a ''museums-n8'' event in [[Amsterdam]]. Coordinated long nights organized by [[ORF]] have also taken place in [[Austria]], [[Italy]], and [[Liechtenstein]]. In [[Switzerland]] long nights have taken place in [[Basel]], [[Bern]], [[Lucerne]], [[St. Gallen]], and [[Zürich]]. In [[Poland]], this event is called simply '''Night of Museums''' ([[Polish language|Polish]]: '''''Noc Muzeów'''''). First edition took place in [[2003]] in [[Poznań]] in Poznań National Museum. In [[Bulgaria]] under the name [http://gallery-night.info/ Night of museums and galleries] this event was successfully held for the first time on a national scale on the 30th of September 2005 in Plovdiv thanks to the initiative of [http://sariev-art.com/ Sariev Gallery]and the civil committee “Night of Museums and Galleries – Plovdiv”. Now The Night becomes a really successful cultural product emblematic for [[Plovdiv]] that attracts many tourists, guest of the town and specialized public. Museums in Great Yarmouth, England are also participating. ==See also== *[[Nuit Blanche]] *[[Looptopia]] ==External links== * [http://www.muzeumokejszakaja.hu Múzeumok Éjszakája in Budapest] * [http://www.lange-nacht-der-museen.de Lange Nacht der Museen in Berlin] * [http://www.museumsnacht-koeln.de Lange Nacht for Cologne museums] * [http://www.lange-nacht.de/ Lange Nacht der Museen in Stuttgart] * [http://www.nacht-der-museen.de/ Nacht der Museen in Düsseldorf] * [http://www.muenchner.de/museumsnacht/index.php4 Lange Nacht der Museen in Munich] * [http://www.museumsnacht.de/ Museum night in Kassel] * [http://www.langenacht.ch Lange Nacht der Museen in Zürich] * [http://www.icom-oesterreich.at/langenacht.html Lange Nacht der Museen in Austria] * [http://www.nuitdesmusees.culture.fr/ La Nuit des Musées in France] * [http://langenacht.orf.at/ Lange Nacht in all of Austria] with ORF * [http://gallery-night.info/ Night of museums and galleries in Plovdiv, Bulgaria] * [http://n8.nl/ Museum night in Amsterdam] * [http://praha.muzejninoc.cz/ Pražská muzejní noc in Prague] [[Category:Recurring events established in 1997]] [[Category:Museum events]] [[Category:Berlin culture]] [[Category:Museums in Berlin|*Long Night of Museums]] [[Category:European culture]] [[bg:Дълга нощ на музеите]] [[cs:Muzejní noc]] [[de:Lange Nacht der Museen]] [[fr:Nuit européenne des musées]] [[hr:Noć muzeja]] [[it:Notte bianca]] [[no:Lange Nacht der Museen]] [[pl:Noc Muzeów]] [[sr:Ноћ музеја]]
