Allie, have you sent this to your local museum? There’s usually an events person on staff. It’s a compelling argument, and there are actually some museums that do this periodically…
They invite a winery or a distillery to do a tasting in the courtyard, and then you can wander around afterwards. Some will do artisan markets.
Thanks for thinking out loud about an excellent idea! Many of us think of museums as ‘third spaces,’ places outside of work and home that fulfill us in multiple ways. Nights at the museum would enhance that perspective.
You're on to something, Allie. I would love to see more things open in the evening - museums, shops, places people can explore. Let's make it a reality!
I am so in love with this piece because I wish it too! The national portrait gallery in Copenhagen has one Friday a month where they bring food carts and music or dancers (art not club) and open till 10pm for free 🥹 it is EVERYTHING.

Yeah there are a few museums that are open late! I just wish it was more often or like you say 🤭🤭
They really should do it more often… Definitely going to forward this to a bunch of museums, hopefully it provides some motivation.

Yes yes yes! I love the way you phrased this!!
And serve wine.
Oh of course! That would be the dream!!

Exactly!! I do feel bad for people needing to work late to keep it open, but it’s a dream for sure 🥰
"quiet rebels who find their thrills in libraries, late-night cafes, and yes, hypothetical midnight museum tours."
- Yes to all of this!
And thank you for the recommendations.
