Society and culture: “Night of Arts” to be held in Moscow for the first time

November 3, 2013 on the initiative of the Ministry of Culture of Russia, the first event "Night of Arts" will take place. In Moscow, the action will be organized by the Department of Culture. The "Night of Arts" will bring together successful festivals such as the "Night at the Museum," "Night at the Theater," "Night in the Park," "Music Night" and "Biblionight."

The theme of the event is the sound - the language comprehensible to all and the one that needs no translation.

The action will be attended by more than 150 leading cultural institutions of the capital: they will work for free until midnight. Major museums will present special multimedia projects: the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts will set up an audio-visual installation in the main building, while the State Tretyakov Gallery on Krymski Val Str. will host artists from the New Music Studio to perform "soundtracks" to accompany the works of Piet Mondrian displayed at the museum. the Museum of Moscow is preparing audio-visual show Good Bye, Moika; Darwin Museum will surprise the public with audio installation including the sounds and voices of nature.

The campaign will “revive” the monuments – poems of Vladimir Mayakovsky, Alexander Pushkin, Vladimir Vysotsky, Sergei Yesenin, Marina Tsvetaeva will sound at the monuments to the poets throughout the day.

Bus routes will join the main places and events of the action; a special route "New Moscow - worthy of attention" will join the capital and the museums of Troitsk and Shcherbinka.

The official site of the "Night of Arts" nochiskusstv.rf will provide users with the detailed program of the action and will allow everyone to create his own itinerary. In addition, the site will offer the pre-registration "Visa to the museum" that will enable visitors to enter the main museums without queuing.
