Celebrate the Night of Museums on May 18
Every year on May 18, museums around the world extend their hours late into the night for the Night of Museums. This extraordinary event celebrates art, culture, and history, inviting people to connect more deeply with their local museums and shared heritage. First launched in Berlin in 1997, the Night of Museums has since flourished, now lighting up more than 130 cities across Europe and beyond.
A Night to Remember: What to Expect
The Night of Museums transforms traditional museum visits into vibrant, after-hours experiences. Participating museums host a wide array of special events, exhibitions, and interactive activities designed to engage visitors of all ages. From live music and theatrical performances to guided tours and creative workshops, the evening offers something for everyone.
Many museums provide free admission or discounted tickets, making it easier for more people to join in. Extended opening hours allow guests to explore collections in a new light—often literally, with creative lighting and unique atmospheres—making the experience both educational and enchanting.
