If there is a museum you've always wanted to visit and have been postponing it, on Thursday, 10 December, Dominican government-sponsored museums and some private museums will be open from 9 am to 12 midnight and admission will be free. The event is known as "The Long Night of the Museums" and is in its second year. Special activities are planned for the participating museums. The event is held to mark the Day of National Heritage and is organized by the Department of Museums of the Ministry of Culture.
Participating museums are: Alcazar de Colon, Museo de la Familia, Fortaleza Ozama, Museo Trampolin, Museo de las Casas Reales, Museo Naval de Rescate Subacuatico de las Atarazanas, Plaza de la Cultura museums in Santo Domingo, and Centro Leon in Santiago and Fortaleza San Felipe in Puerto Plata.
Several cultural centers are also scheduling special events including Casa de Teatro and Quinta Dominica in the Colonial City and the National Theater. The National Theater announces a 90-voice choir and a quartet of musicians directed by Mayra Peguero. Soloists for the evening are sopranos Pura Tayson, Maryam de Soto, tenor Luis Guillermo Puello and baritone Arturo Lamarche. The choir will perform at the entrance steps of the National Theater.
