Describing it as a "tradition much loved by Romans", the city's mayor Roberto Gualtieri said he hoped that this year's event will attract even more visitors than the 70,000 people who participated last year.

Among the long list of city museums participating are the Ara Pacis, Capitoline Museums, Centrale Montemartini and Trajan's Markets.

This is the 13th year that Rome has been involved in Museum Night which has taken place annually across Europe since 2005.
