The European Night of Museums 2022 will be experienced this Saturday in the different rooms of the city of Valencia with activities, workshops, guided tours or live music, in a program designed to bring new audiences closer to these spaces in the capital of the Turia.
ABC compiles some of the main events that will take place on the occasion of this appointment, all of them with free admission and their hours extended until midnight.
On the occasion of the Night of the Museums, the IVAM has organized a guided tour of the Carmen neighborhood that will have sound as its guiding thread. From the hand of the Societat Doctor Alonso and the Baccalaureate students of the IES Barri del Carmen, a walk has been designed that uses tools typical of theater, the body, thought and cinema.
