11th Night at the Museum tonight

More than 1,300 venues across France are taking part in the 11th European Night at the Museum

MUSEUMS across France are taking part in the 11th European Night at the Museum this evening.

An estimated 1,300 venues across the country are taking part in the annual event, which sees them stay open, many of them for free, until midnight. Museums are also open in 33 countries across Europe to celebrate the event.

In France alone, more than two million people enjoyed the range games, workshops, concerts, screenings, performances, and other activities on offer last year.
