MUSEUM NIGHT: Free Entry and 10 Museums PLUS Win an Exclusive Tour

For five hours only, museums across Cape Town will stay open after hours for free

Cape Town CBD has an excellent selection of museums, and for one night only you can take advantage of them to explore art, history and culture with Museum Night.

Now in its third year, this multi-institution cultural experience returns on Thursday 21 February 2019.

THE MUSEUM COMES ALIVE

Besides the usual museum attractions, attendees can look forward to performances, music, food and a unique vibe while checking out the museums in a new light after dark. The full programme of events must still be finalised, so keep your eyes peeled for updates.

The museums and performance sites participating in this year's Museum Night are:

• Iziko South African National Gallery
