About Museum Night Adria

For the European Museum Night, the National Archaeological Museum of Adria opens its halls for a special evening, with a symbolic ticket price, guided tours, and dedicated initiatives. The 2026 edition focuses on the inauguration of a new section and the discovery of the museum's treasures, on a journey through the archaeology of Adria and the Po Delta. It's the ideal opportunity to experience one of the most important archaeological museums in the Veneto region in an evening and convivial atmosphere.

A Night at the Adria Museum

The National Archaeological Museum of Adria, in the province of Rovigo, participates in the European Museum Night with an extraordinary evening opening. One of the most important archaeological institutions in the Veneto region opens its doors for a symbolic fee, with guided tours and a program of events.

Between Artifacts and Stories

The museum houses the testimonies of ancient Adria, a city of Etruscan, then Greek and Roman origin, which gave its name to the Adriatic Sea. The Museum Night event highlights this heritage with guided tours and in-depth sessions, often linked to new acquisitions or exhibition sections.

An Evening Experience

In addition to tours, the program may include readings, conferences, and an aperitif in the museum's cloister, in an informal atmosphere that brings the public and archaeology closer in a new way.
