The Night of the Museums is an annual European tradition where museums and cultural sites open their doors after hours to encourage public engagement with art, history and heritage.

Visitors to the Polish Prime Minister's Office can start touring at 6 p.m. on Saturday, with opportunities to join diplomatic protocol workshops and explore vehicles and equipment used by the State Protection Service.

Tusk personally invited guests via social media, promising open doors and a behind-the-scenes look at government spaces.

Other landmarks, such as the presidential Belweder Palace, parliament buildings and the Ministry of Justice, will also welcome the public.

Guided tours and exhibitions will highlight Poland’s political history and cultural heritage. Entry is free of charge, but visitors must present valid IDs.

The French and German embassies are also joining Poland's Night of the Museums by inviting visitors to their residences for a European picnic celebration.
