The Long Night of Museums returns on May 16th 2015 with a rich and diversified program, full of encounters and discoveries. Since its creation in 2005, this night has become a major event for all. From Moscow to Madrid, from London to Istanbul via Paris, it is the occasion for the 3,000 museums involved to open for a night and encourage visitors to discover their collections for free in a festive and interactive atmosphere. In France, over 1,300 museums will take part in this special night, and, in 2014, over 2 million curious night owls had jumped on this unique opportunity to roam the exhibition rooms. Fun, scientific and instructive activities (tour with flashlights, games, performances and installations, shows, concerts…) will punctuate the tours. The Green Hotels Paris have selected for you the main events close to the Gavarni and Eiffel Trocadéro hotels.
