International Museum Day 2016
Celebrated around the world in over 145 countries and with more than 35,000 events, International Museum Day will take place in Greece on 18 May through 22 May.
 
With the purpose of raising awareness of the importance of culture, this year’s theme is ‘Museums and Cultural Landscapes.’ In celebration of IMD, many museums and ancient sites in Greece will open their doors to the public on Wednesday May 18th for free!

Museums are vital for understanding the exchange of culture and they allow for a mutual respect and understanding of different cultures around the world. What better way to learn more about Greek culture and experience the city than through exciting events happening throughout Athens for IMD.
