MOSCOW / 19-20 MAY 2012
This year, the dates of museum insomnia are May 19 and 20: on the night from Saturday to Sunday, Moscow, following the example of the main European capitals, will again celebrate International Museum Day with night tours, performances, concerts and street flash mobs. The action "Night at the Museum 2012" will be held at the initiative of the Department of Culture of the city of Moscow and will unite more than 170 museums and galleries in the capital. For the first time, the largest federal museums, private exhibition spaces and sites under the jurisdiction of the Department of Culture of the city of Moscow will operate in a single mode - until midnight. This year the Tretyakov Gallery, the Historical Museum, the ARTPLAY Design Center, the WINZAVOD Center for Contemporary Art and many other popular spaces will join the action on general terms. The face of the sixth "Night" will be one of the most popular characters in the history of video art - the fox named Bandit from the video "Night Watch" by artist Francis Alus, the first and last animal who had a chance to spend the night in one of the largest museums in London - the National Portrait Gallery. Follow the fox on the cherished night - Moscow museums will reward the most active "hunters" with bonuses for their love of art. To help Muscovites and guests of the capital, additional ground transport routes are launched, as well as an important innovation - a queue monitoring system on the official website of the project www.museumnight.org, where we suggest looking for details about the Night at the Museum program already in early May. Soon every visitor site will be able to plan its own route. The ten most popular spaces and museum complexes can be visited by pre-registering on the website or by calling the hotline, as well as in an organized queue - by receiving a ticket indicating the time of the visit at the information stands of museums, starting from 6 pm on May 19. the partner of the Night at the Museum campaign is the MIC group of companies, one of the leaders in the real estate market in Moscow and the Moscow region. Today MIC is actively expanding the scope of its activities, focusing on new investment instruments, progressive business models and advanced technologies in the field of construction. Among the company's priorities are the development of social infrastructure in the residential real estate segment, as well as support for large-scale socially significant initiatives in the field of culture and art. Acting as the general partner of the "Night at the Museum" campaign, the MIC company will present to the audience of the project a number of special events on the streets and squares of the city, support a series of excursion programs, performances and master classes in the space of popular museums and galleries in Moscow, and will also initiate consulting centers at the "hottest" points of the museum route.
