Rome’s Musei in Musica 2025: A Night of Music and Art
The city of Rome is set to come alive with music and art on Saturday, 29 November, as the Musei in Musica event returns for its 2025 edition. This unique initiative will see Rome’s city-run museums staying open late, until 02.00, to host over 100 concerts and live performances. Visitors will have the opportunity to experience the city’s museums in a new and exciting way, with live music providing the perfect backdrop to explore the city’s rich artistic heritage.
A Night of Music and Culture
For a symbolic entry fee of just €1, or free for MIC card holders, visitors can enjoy a night of music and culture in some of Rome’s most beautiful and historic museums. The event will feature a diverse range of concerts and performances, showcasing the best of Roman music and art. According to Massimiliano Smeriglio, the city’s culture councillor, the Musei in Musica programme is “an extraordinary way to access our artistic heritage.” The initiative begins at 20.00, with last admission at 01.00, giving visitors plenty of time to explore the museums and enjoy the live music.
Participating Museums
Some of the city’s most famous museums will be taking part in the event, including the Capitoline Museums, Trajan’s Markets, and the Ara Pacis. However, the event will also feature some of Rome’s less-visited venues, such as the Centrale Montemartini, Napoleonic Museum, Museo Carlo Bilotti, the Forma Urbis Museum, Villa Torlonia, Giovanni Barracco Museum of Ancient Sculpture, the Zoology Museum, and the municipal Gallery of Modern Art. This is a great opportunity for visitors to discover some of the city’s hidden gems and experience the rich cultural heritage of Rome.
