"White night" at museums on Friday night published in issue 3929 page 16 at 2007-05-11 Romanian museums will stay open on Friday night, allowing visitors free access, told a press conference on Tuesday Mircea Angelescu, Director of the National Cultural Patrimony Directorate, within the Ministry of Culture and Religious Affairs. "Normally, all museums in Romania will be open tonight and entrance will be free of charge", declared Angelescu. According to him, the "Museums white night" is connected to Europe Day, celebrated on Wednesday. "In Cluj, the County Council was very responsive and granted free entrance on May 9 too (.) We are trying to use culture as propaganda for the concept of Europe", he added. The International Council of Museums (ICOM) chose the theme "The museums and the universal patrimony" for the International Day of the Museums 2007, which will be celebrated on Friday, May 18, in the museums from the whole world. The 23,000 individual and institutional members of ICOM, residents in 145 countries, are encouraged to participate actively, through various events, namely music, dance, theater, the opening of the storehouses, and also, the free access to the museums, sometimes even at night. by Nine oClock <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (C) 2000-2005 Nine o'Clock ---------------------------- Vali "Noble blood is an accident of fortune; noble actions are the chief mark of greatness."
