Digital spaces enable viewing and searching through huge amounts of different museum contents and make them available to a great number of users, the HMD, a non-governmental and non-profit organisation, said in a press release, noting that "museums have become attractive spaces for innovation."
Last year, Museum Night was held in over 200 museums and similar institutions in about 100 cities and towns across Croatia under the title "Museums and Sports - Faster, Higher, Stronger."
Fourteen years ago, when this event was organised in Croatia for the first time, only six museums in Zagreb joined the campaign.
The initiative - the Long Night of Museums - was launched in Germany in 1997 and then spread to France. As of 2005 it became a Europe-wide cultural event in which museums and cultural institutions in an area cooperate to remain open late into the night to attract visitors.
