Dubrovnik and Croatia will celebrate their cultural history with the 13th Night of Museums which will be held on the 26th of January. This night, traditionally held on the last Friday in January, will see many museums and galleries in the city open their doors and welcome guests, free of charge, to a special exhibition. If you are a night owl this is the perfect night for you as the museums stay open until 1 in the morning.
So what can you see in Dubrovnik on this cultural night? And which museums are open for the Night of Museums. There are seven Dubrovnik institutions involved in the night’s activities.
