PARIS — For the European Night of Museums 2015, a 3D Mapping projection on the Picasso Museum’s facade was set to “Le Sacre du printemps “ by Igor Stravinsky under the direction of Maurice Béjart. Since 2011, the International Council of Museums (ICOM) has been sponsoring the European Night of Museums, which is conducted every year on the Saturday closest to the International Museum Day. The European Night of Museums was created in 2005 by the French Ministry of Culture and Communication. On this occasion, the closing time of the museums is postponed to approximately 1 am,, which allows the public to visit the participating museums by night, for free. By welcoming the public during the night, museums invite them to visit the collections in a different, unusual and more sensory way. In 2016, the event will take place on Saturday, May 21.
