The Night of Museums is making a grand return on Saturday, May 23, 2026. This cultural event on a European scale invites us to rediscover our heritage from a fresh perspective through an extraordinary program of late-night openings, free tours, and unique activities awaiting us at the participating castles, museums, monuments, and institutions across the region.

Paris and the whole of the Île-de-France region are determined to unveil their finest treasures on this occasion, and promise us an eventful edition for the curious and the passionate. As you can see, this is an event not to be missed.

While Paris has a knack for attracting all eyes, the region also has plenty to offer heritage lovers.

This time, we're heading for the Seine-et-Marne department, and more precisely Vulaines-sur-Seine, to discover the Musée départemental Stéphane Mallarmé, dedicated to the French poet and awarded the "Maison des Illustres" label.
