Düsseldorf Night of the Museums (Nacht der Museen), is an unmissable milestone for culture-vultures in Düsseldorf. During this annual museum celebration, over 50 museums in Düsseldorf open their doors from the early evening until the small hours. 

Enjoy your museums of choice until 2am

On April 27, 2024, more than 50 of the city’s museums and galleries take part in this one-of-a-kind event, inviting attendees inside from 7pm until 2am. Get immersed in exhibitions, concerts, installations, poetry readings, theatre and dance.

Certain museums are so big that visitors can easily spend over three hours there, meanwhile others can be explored in less than 30 minutes - that’s why Düsseldorf Night of the Museums is perfect for those who want to combine visits to the multiple museums in Düsseldorf.

For those feeling extra curious, guided tours take place in some venues. Visitors can also look forward to delicious food and refreshing drinks throughout the night.

The origin of museum nights

Nowadays, events similar to Düsseldorf Night of the Museums happen all over the globe, but the concept began in Berlin in 1997 with a special night of extra-long opening hours at museums all over Berlin, with added entertainment. The idea soon spread to other German cities, and then began to be adopted abroad. Now, countless cities worldwide hold their own museum nights. 

If you like this, you're also bound to love Long Night of Museums Berlin, Long Night of Museums Stuttgart and Frankfurt Night of the Museums.
