This Saturday, Barcelona hosts a new edition of the Night of the Museums, a day that will allow free visits to dozens of cultural spaces until the early hours with a special program.

The initiative, established as one of the most prominent events in Barcelona's cultural calendar, includes art, science, history, and design museums. The facilities will offer extended hours and parallel activities such as concerts, screenings, and guided tours to bring culture to new audiences.
Among the spaces participating in the event are Cosmocaixa, the Museu Picasso, MACBA, MNAC, and the Museu d'Història de Barcelona. The event coincides with a recovery phase in in-person cultural consumption, with visitor numbers approaching pre-pandemic levels.
At the same time, the Poblenou neighborhood is consolidating itself as a nightlife hub with an offer that combines electronic music, food markets, and DJ sessions, especially around the 22@ district.
On the other hand, the Tibidabo amusement park is strengthening its family programming throughout the weekend. In addition to classic attractions like the Avió or the Talaia, educational workshops and children's shows have been organized to take advantage of the good weather.
