MUSEUM NIGHT 2023

April 14, 2023

On April 14, 2023, from 4 PM to 9 PM the event will take place at the Regional Museum and Gallery in Most

MUSEUM NIGHT 2023, to which you are cordially invited.

BECOME A RESEARCHER FOR A MOMENT

Children will try out museum activities and the natural history department will present a new attractive exhibition on the Geology of Northwest Bohemia to the public.

This year's museum night will give you a glimpse into the work of the curators of the natural history department, and you will be able to try some activities yourself. You will have the opportunity to identify plants and animals using identification keys, create your own animal from clay, or paint a stone. And if the children complete several simple tasks, they will receive a small gift. For the braver ones, there will be a tasting of insect specialties. You will also be able to look into professional publications or explore various specimens. And of course, you will visit the newly opened geology exhibition, where several guided tours will be prepared for you.
