The story

Night in Lviv in Lviv

Night in Lviv is a museum-night-style cultural event historically held twice a year in Lviv, opening the city's museums, theaters, churches, and even underground catacombs for late-night guided tours and performances. It was well documented through at least its 32nd edition in November 2013, drawing roughly 15,000 visitors annually.

Night in Lviv, known locally as Nich u Lvovi, built its reputation as one of the city's most ambitious cultural events by doing something simple but logistically demanding: unlocking dozens of museums, theaters, churches, and hidden spaces after dark and inviting the public in for free.
