Night of the Museums

More than 180 Museums in Moscow participated in the Night of the Museums event Saturday night, including Winzavod, pictured here. The city's museums welcomed guests until midnight.

A large spiral exhibit doubles as a seat for those tired of browsing the museum's extensive selection.

The vibrant, colorful artwork that drew large crowds also prompted many to take long-lasting photographs with cell phones and cameras.
