Culture Week in Rome: save on tickets to museums, galleries and concerts

Logo of the initiative.

'Culture belongs to everyone: you too can participate'.

This is how the event is being promoted this year by the Ministry of Cultural Affairs.

To make culture more accessible state-run sights are admission-free and ticket prices for private establishments have been reduced. Opening times have been extended too and whenever possible things are open on Mondays too.

Bear in mind that UNESCO has estimated that 40% of the world’s cultural heritage that’s been preserved lies in Italy. That’s a lot to see and it’s impossible for the state to keep everything open to the public throughout the year. Initiatives like this give people the opportunity to see things that are normally not accessible and for the organisations involved in restorations to show new developments to the public.

Private institutions are also involved in this initiative to promote access to associations, institutes, libraries, concerts and places that are not normally visited by tourists and locals.
