La noche de los Museos

Each November, Buenos Aires benefits from La Noche de los Museos, a night on which all the museums and cultural institutions of the city are open for free to visitors. Closer to a grand party than to a guided tour, people can enter many exhibitions, take part in art classes, or see shows for hours into the night. In practical terms, it’s the best way of sampling the culture of the city.
