European Night of Museums 2026: Libarna Archaeological Area openings and archaeological events in Piedmont

Saturday 23 May 2026 the European Night of Museums reaches archaeological sites across Piedmont. Many institutions offer a symbolic evening ticket of €1, with extended openings and activities focused on archaeological heritage.

Notable for archaeological sites is the Libarna Archaeological Area (Serravalle Scrivia, AL):

• Hours: free visits to the site until 21:30.
• Educational workshops starting at 17:30: "Sul filo di lana" and "Con il filo di lana" (exploring techniques, meanings and uses of wool in Roman times), "Racconti dell'arcolaio" (Appennine traditions) and "Libarnattack" aimed at children.
• Information: tel. 0143 633420.

Practical tips: arrive early to join workshops, check capacity limits and access rules, and plan travel to sites outside urban centers. The event is an opportunity to visit archaeological contexts and take part in educational activities for families and schools.

The 2026 theme, "Museums that unite a divided world", highlights the role of museums and archaeological sites as places of cultural exchange and cohesion.
