Los sábado, domingos y festivos abrirá ininterrumpidamente de 11 a 21 horas
12.100 personas han visitado la exposición Tesoros de Egipto durante los dos últimos fines de semana desde que abrió sus puertas el pasado 14 de febrero.
Todo un éxito de asistencia que ha llevado a la concejalía de Cultura a ampliar el horario de apertura del Centro de Arte Tomás y Valiente (CEART), que a partir de este fin de semana permanecerá abierto de manera ininterrumpida los sábados, domingos y festivos entre 11 y 21 horas.
Los viernes y víspera de fiesta el horario continuará siendo de 17 a 21 horas, siendo esta última la hora de cierre de la sala por lo que la entrada deberá producirse con suficiente antelación.
“Con esta ampliación de horario queremos dar la posibilidad de que más gente pueda acceder a la exposición que está batiendo record de asistencia en estos días desde su apertura” señala la concejala de Cultura Cristina Mora.
La exposición, que es gratuita, permanecerá abierta hasta el 29 de junio.
