Denys Kazvan, PR-director of the PinchukArtCentre: ‘The official international Night at the Museum ran recently, on the 18^th of May, but since it is a working day, we decided to hold our ‘night at the museum’ on the eve of the week-end, so that more kievites and visitors of Kiev have a chance to get involved. We are happy that the project has been supported by other Kiev-based galleries for contemporary art. This means, the event will become our common present to Kiev for the City Feast’.

Night guided tours, contests, meetings with artists and curators, thematic art quests (including a car quest), readings, film shows etc. will be organized under the Night at the Museum, Contemporary Kiev. The contest winners will get their awards.
