The sounds of fanfare at Kalemegdan’s Military Museum on 21st May marked the start of the annual Night of the Museums event.
This year’s partner country was the Republic of Korea, which presented part of its fashion and art with the presentation of its traditional formal glamorous gowns.
This traditional event included more than 200 locations in Serbia: from traditional shots from the cherry wood cannon in front of the Horreum Margi Museum in Ćuprija to night walks through Belgrade’s New Cemetery under candlelight and torchlight, this year’s Night of the Museums undeniably outshone all previous incarnations, in terms of numbers of visitors and numbers of locations, but most of all in terms of the creativity of the organisers.
The slogan of this year’s 14th Night of the Museums was “Large and small revolutions”. The programme officially started at 5 pm and ended at 1 am, though some venues remained open even after that time, due to the great interest of visitors.
