Night of Museums in Berlin, January 29th, 2011

Many cities have picked up the idea of the Long Night of Museums. It is a cultural event where museums throughout one city are open until late at night with the idea of introducing a broader range of people to art and culture. The first Night of Museums took place in Berlin in 1997. It was extremely well received by the public. Since then the number of participating institutions grew significantly from 12 to 125 and many other cities throughout Europe and the world have adopted this concept.

On January 29^th 2011 the 28^th Lange Nacht der Museen will take place in Berlin. The organizers had the idea to introduce the event under the theme “health”, “Körper trifft Seele” (Body meets Soul) to be exact. In addition to the exhibitions, many of the institutions will offer different guided tours under this theme but also musical and literary programs. From 18h until 2h in the morning you will be able to visit over 100 museums throughout the entire city.

The opening of the Night of the Museums will take place in the heart of Berlin at the Kulturforum, close to Potsdamer Platz. A shuttle service will be available and here you will have the chance to get last minute information and tickets. The ticket sale has started on December 3, 2010 and the prices are 15€ (10€) which not only includes the museum entrance but also enables to use the shuttle service.

This is pretty much all you need to know about this event. It’s a great opportunity visit some of the many museums and cultural institutions that Berlin has to offer if you don’t usually have or take the time to visit them and it leaves time to enjoy the rest of Berlin during the day.
