On Friday 21 May 2021 come to the Night of the Museums at MOCAK! The visitors will be able to see all the exhibitions and take part in the events that have been prepared especially for the occasion.

Some museums are extending visiting hours, while others are inviting visitors only to visit online.

On Friday 21 May, MOCAK will open from 11 am to 10 pm (last entry to the exhibitions at 9.30 pm). A special price ticket at 2 PLN on the day.

For their own safety, all visitors are asked to follow the current Health and Safety regulations which include updated sanitary guidelines, available here.
