"For visitors, this is the unique opportunity to see or review as many works gathered from this genius of the Renaissance, and this in a special atmosphere, unique to the night," said the president and director of the Louvre. The prestigious Leonardo da Vinci exhibition at the Louvre Museum will conclude at the end of February with three non-stop opening days, day and night, announces Jean-Luc Martinez in the Sunday Journal .

During the last three days of the exhibition, Friday 21, Saturday 22 and Sunday 23 February, visitors will be able to come from 9 p.m. to 8:30 a.m., specifies the JDD . Entrance to these evening events will be free, but by compulsory reservation online from Tuesday noon on the louvre.fr site.
Almost 30,000 places will be offered, according to the weekly, for this unprecedented operation, like an extraordinary exhibition inaugurated on October 24, the largest ever devoted to the Italian painter. The Louvre opted for these free nights in order to "reiterate to everyone that the museum is made for everyone", according to Jean-Luc Martinez, who explains that more than 40% of the nearly 10 million annual visitors pay nothing.
