The proposal, implemented since 2022, is to extend the opening hours of cultural facilities by one day every two months until 10pm so that visitors who work or study during business hours have the opportunity to participate in activities during the week.
Within the varied program that will take place in 69 different cultural facilities, there will be storytelling, book clubs, exhibitions, open workshops, debates, mediated visits, debates and other activities. The complete program is now available at the link, with accessibility for people with visual impairments.
In this edition, the novelty is the greater participation of museums, which increased their participation by 27% compared to the last edition. Among the new participants are the Ojú Aiyê Historical Museum (Matozinhos), the AngloGold Ashanti Memory Center (Nova Lima), the São João del-Rei Regional Museum and the Chapel Museum – Dominican Sisters of Monteils (Uberaba).
