For several years now,UNESCO, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, has been taking part in the Nuit des Musées, an evening that brings art within everyone's reach.
The very first European Museum Night took place in 2005. Since then, every spring, this event has invited art lovers and the curious to push open the doors of numerous museums throughout France, free of charge, from dusk until midnight. On the program? Visits in nocturnal mode, as well as exclusive itineraries, projections and a variety of other activities for the public, all in a friendly, fun atmosphere.
In 2023,UNESCO is once again taking part in the European Night of Museums, to be experienced on Saturday May 13, 2023. Located in Paris's chic 7th arrondissement, the UNESCO headquarters is a treasure trove of modern architecture. Several emblematic twentieth-century architects have contributed to the building's renown, including Bernard Zehrfuss, Marcel Breuer and Pier Luigi Nervi. The building is also home to major works by Miró, Picasso, Giacometti, Calder... The collection extends to over 600 works of art!
For this Nuit des Musées 2023,UNESCO is highlighting the cultural treasures of African heritage. Visitors will be able to enjoy a temporary exhibition of African works from UNESCO's fine collection.
