Night at the Museum

On Saturday night over 400 museums across Latvia participated in Museum Night..a night where the museums are free, stay open until 2:oo am, and have fun cultural things to do. My friends and I braved the masses of people to participate in this event, despite the early start we had the next morning. I could not believe just how many people participated in this event, they even served alcohol at some of the museums (drunk people and priceless works of art are not a good combination). While it was a little hard to see the works of art it was still interesting to participate in this event which apparently is a European phenomenon. This is a photo of all the people looking at the Socialist Realism art exhibit at Arsenals, the Latvian Modern Art Museum.
