This event, which has been a cherished tradition for over two decades, allows visitors to explore museums and historical sites free of charge, with many venues offering exclusive events.

In Warsaw, highlights include the National Museum, known for its extensive collection of Polish and international art, and the Copernicus Science Centre, famous for its interactive exhibits.

Over 300 institutions in the capital are participating, remaining open overnight from Saturday to Sunday. The city hosts various cultural events, such as concerts, multimedia shows, and art exhibitions.
