Nuit Blanche

Nuit Blanche is an annual arts event that takes place over the course of a single night. Typically, it offers free public access to museums, cultural institutions and other public or private venues, and uses these spaces to showcase artistic installations or performances.

The principle behind such an event has existed for many years, particularly in the Nordic countries. However, in its current form, the concept was launched in 2002 in Paris, France, and has since been replicated in numerous cities, such as Rome, Montréal, Toronto, Brussels, Madrid, Lima, Málaga, Leeds, Taipei and Seoul.
