The Night of Museums is an annual European tradition where museums and cultural sites open their doors after hours to encourage public engagement with art, history, and heritage.

Visitors to the Chancellery of the Prime Minister can start touring at 6 p.m., with opportunities to see Donald Tusk’s office, join diplomatic protocol workshops, and explore vehicles and equipment used by the State Protection Service.

Tusk personally invited guests via social media, promising open doors and a behind-the-scenes look at government spaces.

Other landmarks, such as the Presidential Belweder Palace, Parliament buildings, and Ministry of Justice, will also welcome the public.

Guided tours and exhibitions will highlight Poland’s political history and cultural heritage. Entry is free of charge, but visitors must present valid ID.

The French and German embassies are also joining Poland's Night of Museums by inviting visitors to their residences for a European picnic celebration.
