Rediscover the charm of the “Avenue Museums”, on Museums Night, in a labyrinth in which the visitor is invited to travel and discover the ordinance of life of 2 different, yet connected, universes. The Labyrinth Museum, located in George Enescu Square (next to the Romanian Athenaeum) awaits its public for a unique dialogue, covering special themes and less accessible patrimonial selections, both in images and in music, but also in films about the inception, popular art and outdoors shows.
The organizers invite you to “travel” or let yourself “initiated” through a Labyrinth about the beginnings of life, the beginnings of the 2 museums, the known and unknown celebrations of the people and other various living creatures, the legacy of the museums, the symbols and marks known only by the butterflies and the humans. The ones who browse this museum trail, unique for the national and international event “The Museums Night”, will have the opportunity to discover, in the form of a temporary exhibition, the personalities who changed the destinies of the 2 museums. The Labyrinth will be provided with a signage system and maps for orientation, assuring the signalization of the direction to the permanent exhibition (the dialogue of the 2 museums), the signalization of the additional areas (the multimedia area, the temporary exhibition, the playground for the children, the relaxing area, the guest room, the info zone) and the exit. The organizers wait for the little sleepy ones, to tell them stories about the trail of the labyrinth and give them drawing lessons in the area specially put together for the kids.
