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 30 August 2025 the Long Night of Museums will be all about love – from casting magic spells in Ancient Egypt to flirting with avatars today. Whether famous lovers from ancient mythology or stories of separation in times of division, the age-old theme of love appears in numerous paintings, sculptures, songs and letters. You can even get practical advice from medical experts at the heartache clinic. Late at night, there will be plenty of opportunities to flirt – whether at the Venetian masked ball, the tango dance, the Lovesong Party or the queer open-air karaoke. This year’s meeting point – and the heart of the Long Night of Museums – will once again be the Museum Island.
Berlin’s Long Night of Museums reinvents itself every year and continues to inspire returning fans and first-time visitors alike.
