Museums at Night is a national weekend of late openings at heritage venues to capture people's imaginations and encourage audiences to do something different with their evening.

Museums at Night 2010

Night owls enjoyed a weekend of nocturnal goings-on from Friday 14 May to Sunday 16 May as Norwich's museums and heritage attractions unlocked their doors for Museums at Night 2010.

Norwich HEART coordinated the city's events, which were part of the nationwide Museums at Night, organised by Culture24 and funded by the Museums, Libraries and Archives Council.

2010 was the first year Norwich had taken part in Museums at Night on such a grand scale - several venues, including five of the Norwich 12 buildings, were open after hours as part of the national campaign, which aimed to capture people's imaginations and encourage audiences to do something different with their evening.

Visitors to Museums at Night events were offered a range of experiences, including an installation, moonlit tours, ghost stories and children's sleepovers.
