151,500 visitors at the Long Night of Museums
151,500 people visited the "Long Night of Museums" in Vienna on Saturday evening. Unsurprisingly, the federal capital came out on top. Almost every second person attended the event in Vienna.
Across Austria, around 308,000 people visited the "Long Night of Museums", with around 660 museums, galleries and cultural institutions to choose from. "In its 24th year, the 'ORF Long Night of Museums' once again impressively demonstrated the important role that art and culture play in our society. I am particularly pleased that (...) both young and older visitors took advantage of this unique opportunity to experience the diversity of our museums," said ORF Director General Roland Weißmann in a press release.
As expected, the highest number of visits was recorded in the Austrian capital, followed by Styria (38,418) and Carinthia (27,050). Burgenland (7493) and Upper Austria (9147) had the fewest visitors.
The "Long Night of Museums" was also offered in parts of Liechtenstein, Switzerland and Germany. In Vienna, the institutions were open until midnight on Saturday night.
