As you said, it is a wonderful reimagining of life lived on a different track... Tis one of the reasons why I love winter: everything feels different when it is dark.Enia Is (Almost) Herehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13012085342758818652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-175582216832740010.post-24560376014872664112011-10-29T19:22:35.610+01:002011-10-29T19:22:35.610+01:00A very good idea.

Some London museums are open a little later on Fridays, I went to the vintage glamour night at the Portrait gallery recently and it was great, but so busy! A little peace would be welcome for gallery visiting. but it would be nice if it was later. I think cinemas should definitely show films later too. Great post as ever.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15033932984369565449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-175582216832740010.post-35827409101904423402011-10-29T00:37:39.275+01:002011-10-29T00:37:39.275+01:00sounds like a great idea! lovely photossounds like a great idea! lovely photosNancy Baric *negfilmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02931041982591455180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-175582216832740010.post-92180639004219463072011-10-28T19:45:26.749+01:002011-10-28T19:45:26.749+01:00Yes!

We walked down to one of the old, old castles that now house four stories of art and we wandered through the rooms until midnight. It was so surreal, but so much better than seeing all of these ancient pieces in the bright daylight. Spookier, maybe, but rightly so.SARAHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15952758346444782106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-175582216832740010.post-82067583655588854942011-10-26T09:23:36.731+01:002011-10-26T09:23:36.731+01:00my first visit here (from hila's place) and i ...my first visit here (from hila's place) and i couldn't agree with you more!<br /><br />i remember visiting art galleries in Sydney when i was in my 20's, along with coffee and good conversations, and those nights were always more satisfying than other nights.<br />although i enjoy dancing too...<br /><br />i also love the idea of a museum/gallery near my home. one that i could be so used to that i could glide through not having to look at everything all the time. as comfortable as a favourite hat.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11863793441609598153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-175582216832740010.post-5019386135673547892011-10-26T06:34:46.592+01:002011-10-26T06:34:46.592+01:00Yes, it is a wonderful idea indeed.

I haven't been to one of their Night Life events but I'm really looking forward it to. I really do think that they should do it regularly, sort of like a movie theater that opens at 12 and ends at midnight. That would be ideal to majority of us (day) working folks!Odessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17397968854709642789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-175582216832740010.post-53796514477231609222011-10-26T06:28:41.337+01:002011-10-26T06:28:41.337+01:00I love the idea of more museums doing this.

I think there's something so special about visiting a museum late at night, it's a totally different feeling to doing the same thing during the day. I think Versailles opened its doors to visitors at night a while back. It must have been a magical experience.Hilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06635628613744519816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-175582216832740010.post-49193858067411017042011-10-26T04:33:48.078+01:002011-10-26T04:33:48.078+01:00In my work on the history of museums and their rol...In my work on the history of museums and their role as sites for art education - I was really surprised to discover that in the very early days (different points in the 19thC, depending on the institution), public museums opened late and on weekends to encourage the working classes to visit - as there was this big movement to help educate the poorer classes.<br /><br />Isn't it funny how we all seem to be in that position these days? We are all the (now time-)poor working class! We need our cultural institutions to realise that!Rebeccakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03847383566988861116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-175582216832740010.post-48459951802894753552011-10-25T23:05:35.928+01:002011-10-25T23:05:35.928+01:00Sounds like a brilliant idea.

I didn't expect it to if I'm honest, but it still seems a little sad. Even the English society for example, has its social gatherings in a nightclub at 11pm.<br /><br />This just seems very refreshing to read about.
