Now in its 20th year, the Night of the Museums takes place over the nearest weekend to the summer solstice. Museums and galleries open their doors until late, laying on special events, guided tours, live music, family activities and all kinds of surprises. For the knock-down price of 2,200 forints (HUF 1,000 for 6-18s), a wristband entitles you to enter some 50+ attractions and institutions over the course of the evening, although certain presentations and performances may cost extra. Wristbands can be purchased at all participating venues and online from Jegymester. Most locations open at 6pm, the Museum of Fine Arts at 2pm and the Franz Liszt Memorial Museum at 4pm.
