17 May 2025 from 7PM to midnight visit the Photography Museum on the European Night of Museums! The theme of this year’s traditional event is “My and our history”.

Let’s create the story of this third Saturday in May together – from the early morning, to the arrival at the museum and the end of the day – all the personal moments, seemingly ordinary and insignificant, but precious and meaningful, will eventually become the common story of the day, where our encounters, experiences and discoveries will merge.
