GEP - Giornate Europee del Patrimonio 2024. National museums and sites

Established in 1991, the European Heritage Days (in Italy, Giornate Europee del Patrimonio - GEPs) are one of the most participated cultural events at the European level. The event is coordinated in Italy by the Ministry of Culture, which has chosen the theme “Patrimonio in cammino - Heritage on the Way” for the 2024 edition to invite reflection on the value of cultural heritage in relation to paths, routes, connections and networks.

The two days of Saturday, September 28 and Sunday, September 29 (Saturday also in the evening) are dedicated to promoting this vast shared heritage with special openings, meetings, events, guided tours and workshops. The list of initiatives organized in national museums, archaeological sites, libraries and places of culture, with schedules and all information on how to participate, can be found on the Ministry of Culture website. Extraordinary openings of some national museums are also planned for the evening of Saturday 28 September, at the symbolic cost of 1 euro, for example Galleria Borghese, the National Etruscan Museum of Villa Giulia, Palazzo Barberini and Castel Sant’Angelo, the National Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art and the Baths of Caracalla.

As in past editions, the Capitoline Superintendence is joining the European Heritage Days with a rich program of visits and activities. For more information on the municipal museums and sites involved, please visit the dedicated page.
