Poland’s capital is to host cultural events, including concerts,  sound-and-light multimedia shows as well as art exhibitions.

Visitors will be able to see most of the city’s museums free-of-charge, but they will also be allowed inside institutions which are usually unavailable to the public, like the newly opened Iceland embassy, or 100-years-old network of underground tunnels.

According to the Warsaw city hall website, the Night of Museums in Warsaw is “the largest and at the same time the most recognisable cultural event in the capital.”

It has been run since 2004, and the 2022 edition attracted over 200,000 visitors.
