The Museum of Cycladic Art in Athens will celebrate International Museum Day -- and Night -- on 16 and 17 May with a series of events, continuing a tradition begun in 2005 by the museum directorate of the French Ministry of Culture, which coordinates the celebration for Europe. This year's Night at the Museums is being staged under the auspices of the Council of Europe, the International Council of Museums (ICOM) and UNESCO. "Museums and Tourism" has been set as the topic for 2009.
