This Friday, January 31, Dubrovnik is holding its annual Night of the Museums, with free admission around town, entry until 1am and special events also laid on.
The occasion dovetails with the run-up to the Feast of St Blaise celebrated on February 2-3, allowing some institutions to theme their activities, such as the interactive game at the Ethnographic Museum.
While the evening programme of lectures scheduled at the Rector’s Palace is aimed at Croatian speakers, the Maritime Museum will be offering model-making and face-painting for children while adults can peruse exhibits related to Dubrovnik’s seafaring heritage.
Other venues taking part include the Revelin Fortress and a carpentry workshop in Miha Pracata, just off Stradun. Visitors can also buy souvenirs and publications at all museums for a discount of up to 20 per cent.
Events begin across town at 6pm. For details, see here.
