This year, starting in July 2026, Hydra celebrates the 30th (thirtieth) anniversary of the grand opening and reopening of the new HAMH building (July 1996–present, 2026).

As part of the tribute and thanks to the distinguished Sponsors who have supported the work of the Museum over the years by honoring it in practice with their sponsorship contributions, a dedicated evening is being organized on Friday, September 25, 2026 at 7:30 on the always hospitable and emblematic terrace of the Building.
