To welcome in the spring, Tuscan museums will offer extended opening hours, special visits to sites normally closed to the public, and events for children, from April 23rd to May 8th. The Region has organised this initiative in accordance with their motto, “a knowledge of one’s cultural patrimony is the first guarantee for preserving it.” For more information: http://www.cultura.toscana.it/musei/amico_museo/index.shtml
