Long Night of Museums
Berlin’s Long Night of Museums is the first of its kind in the world and marks the highpoint of the museum year in the capital.
With more than 70 exhibition spaces, we invite all Berliners and guests to discover the diverse treasures of Berlin’s museum landscape in a new way. The capital’s biggest cultural event – invented in Berlin in 1997 – has been copied worldwide due to its success and has long since become a cult brand. Even after more than twenty years, the original Long Night of Museums reinvents itself every year, delighting fans and first-time visitors alike. This is demonstrated by the over one million tickets sold to date. Click here for the website.
Current Information
On August 24, 2024, 75 museums, exhibition venues, memorials and planetariums opened their doors until well after midnight. Around 45,000 visitors took part in the guided tours, workshops, talks, presentations and rides in vintage cars. Under the theme “Berlin Secrets”, excavation finds from Berlin’s underground were presented, ancient Egyptian writings deciphered, paintings examined, the infamous methods of the secret services presented and stories told of passions lived out in secret.
At the Museum Island meeting point the Young Euro Classic ensembles enthralled the audience. Around midnight, thousands were once again drawn to the Voguing Ball, the Salsa Party and the Ladies Crime Night.
Berlin’s Long Night of Museums reinvents itself every year and continues to inspire returning fans and first-time visitors alike.
