Museums open to night owls this weekend
Saturday, October 13, the seven museums and art centers of the capital will open their doors at night for the 18th edition of the Night of the Museums. An event full of surprises and unexpected animations, to invite the public to discover art, history and nature. To your flashlights!
Since 2001, the Nuit des Musées has been a great success and has gradually become the annual rendezvous for art lovers and lovers of culture and heritage.
The proof by the figures: more than 20,000 visitors are expected again tomorrow, as soon as it gets dark.
The opportunity for curious people as night birds to discover or rediscover, with family or friends, the permanent collections and temporary exhibitions of Luxembourg museums from 18h and until 1am.
For all and for all tastes
As every year, seven cultural highlights of the capital will take part in the event:
- The Luxembourg Casino ;
- Lëtzebuerg City Museum ;
- The Mudam ;
- The Dräi Eechelen Museum ;
- National Museum of History and Art ;
- The National Museum of Natural History ;
- The Villa Vauban .
Like previous editions, each of them will set up a participatory "coup de coeur" visit to bring a new look at the collections and to live the museum differently.
In addition, many animations for young and old will be proposed : lectures, film screenings, artistic performances, children's workshops ...
In order to improve the accessibility of the route and link the different sites between them, free shuttles will be provided throughout the evening by the city's historic buses from the Glacis car park.
