While Museum Nights are a common occurrence throughout the world, in Serbia they are taken to the extreme with museums opening their doors to the public from 18:00 - 02:00. First held in Belgrade in 2005, Novi Sad's museums and galleries began participating two years later, and the event is now one of the most exciting on the annual cultural calendar. In addition to viewing permanent and temporary exhibitions, visitors are also treated to various other activities, such as concerts, performances, film screenings and workshops.
