From August 28 to 30, 2025, the Gatchina Museum-Reserve will host the «Night of Light» festival for the seventh time. This unique event annually brings together contemporary artists, creative teams, and thousands of visitors, blending historical landscapes and architecture with the latest technologies and art trends.
This year's festival theme is «PLAY». Participants will present their interpretations of play as a universal way of human interaction with the world. The exhibition will allow visitors to view one of the key elements of human nature through the lens of diverse artists.
The festival features light installations, architectural mapping, and interactive objects inspired by the landscapes of Gatchina Park. Last year, over 50 artists from five countries created installations that blended into the context of the park, and 15,000 visitors embarked on a nighttime journey along the five-kilometer exhibition.
