Are Muscovites night owls? It certainly seems so — because the original Night in the Museum festival proved so successful that Moscow now holds several thematic “Nights of…” every year.
On Saturday (Nov. 4), Moscow is one of the venues in the national Night of Art festival.
That means hundreds of events throughout the city, mostly at museums — many of which will be open until 11 p.m. or midnight — but also scattered around in unexpected places. This year, train stations become concert halls, with hip hop at Kievsky; classical piano at Kazansky; classical trio at Yaroslavsky; and chamber music at Paveletsky.
You can attend lectures, tours and all kinds of events at the Museum of Moscow, take a tour of Kuskovo or wander around Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich’s palace at Kolomenskoye, check out a dance performance at Tsaritsyno or a film about the 1917 Revolution at one of the Moskino movie theaters (Fakel, Zvezda and Yunost).
This is a true “something for everyone” festival, so check out the site for more information. Almost all events are free, although some require advanced registration.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
