From 9 am to 12 midnight tonight there is no charge to enter museums in Santo Domingo. Culture Minister Jose Lantigua says he seeks to introduce this Spanish and French tradition to the city. While all museums will be open until late, on occasion of this first "Long Night of Museums," the plan is that each museum will have its own "long night" in 2009. Participating in the event are the Columbus Alcazar, the Casas Reales Museum, the Dominican Family Museum, and the Fortaleza Ozama Museum in the Colonial City. Colonial City restaurants will be offering discounts of 20%. At the Plaza de la Cultura, participating institutions are the Museum of Dominican Man, Museum of Modern Art and the Natural History Museum. The Columbus Lighthouse Museum is also part of the program, and has scheduled a concert by opera singers.
