Night of Museums

May-17
On Saturday, 17 May 2025, Targu Mures becomes the scene of an unmissable cultural marathon: Museums Night brings together museum institutions, galleries, theatres, cultural organisations, NGOs, creative workshops, cafes and local artists in a programme that will run from noon until late into the night.
Co-ordinated by Mures County Museum, the event brings together over 30 partners from all parts of the city from 11:00 until 2:00.
In 2025, our motto is: ‘Lights out, culture lights up!’
Museum Night is when culture becomes adventure and the city pulsates differently: we ignite curiosity, creativity and the joy of discovery.
