Museums and galleries all over Bulgaria will have free entrance and will stay open all night on Saturday. They will provide different activities including dance, movie previews and entertaining show programs.

Bulgaria's National Art Gallery, Gallery Sofia, National Gallery for Foreign Art, National Archeological Museum, National Polytechnic Museum and Museum “Earth and People” are among the participants in the capital.
Some 2 000 museums from 40 European countries are expected to open their doors for the all-night event.
