"I urge you to rediscover proudly our patrimony! Let us protect cultural values and support every demarche that sheds light on our values. The Night of Museums is a good opportunity to regard our wealth of culture. On this occasion, I invite you to visit the Cotroceni National Museum, an important monument of architecture and a landmark institution", said the President on facebook.

Nearly 30 museums, among which, as a first, the National Bank of Romania Museum, and 20 cultural organizations will be open on the Night of Museums 2015 in Bucharest, on Saturday night, ready to offer visitors a diverse programme of events that includes exhibitions, children's workshops, concerts, film projections, as well as ballet and pantomime shows.

This year's edition will be a special one, being marked by a protest initiated by the National Network of Museums of Romania (RNMR), the organizers of the Night of Museums. AGERPRES
