The Long Night of Museums will be opened at 6 pm in front of the Altes Museum on the Museum Island by the Mayor of the Land of Berlin, Bettina Jarasch. The opening will be framed by a dance performance. You are warmly invited!

Apart from one or two exceptions, the museums will be open from 6 pm to 2 am.

A few museums will be starting a little earlier with their children’s programmes. The MACHmit! Museum für Kinder is opening from 3 to 10 pm. The children’s programme at the Berlinische Galerie starts at 4 pm, and that of the Bauhaus-Archiv/Museum für Gestaltung in The Temporary at 5 pm.

Some museums will close at midnight. They are the Energie-Museum in Steglitz, the Käthe-Kollwitz-Museum in Charlottenburg (which is under construction) and the Planetarium am Insulaner in Schöneberg.

New Berliners and guests of the city are welcome to the Long Night! The museums offer events in Arabic, German, English, Persian, Russian and Ukrainian.

You will not need to know German to be able to enjoy many of the events such as concerts and performances. You can find these events in our programme by using the filter settings.

The great majority of the participating museums are wheelchair-accessible. The suitability of individual museums for people with various disabilities is included in the museum descriptions. The programme can be filtered for inclusive events. The shuttle buses are barrier-free.

Events without restrictions on numbers or special admission requirements are currently allowed in Berlin. A few museums limit the number of visitors for safety reasons and require visitors to wear masks. Please comply with these rules.

We recommend that you wear a mask in all indoor spaces and at museum entrances. FFP2 masks must be worn in the shuttle buses and on public transport. For the safety of everyone involved, please follow general hygiene rules (disinfect hands, keep your distance) and stay home if you have cold symptoms.

You may have to wait before being admitted to some museums. You can ask our visitor support staff to find out which nearby museums you can visit in the meantime.

Many museums are offering events in their gardens or courtyards or on their plazas. Filter the programme of events for “open air”.

Do you have any more questions? Get in touch with us on our Infoline on +49 (0)30 47 99 74 74. It is open from Monday to Friday from 2 to 8 pm and on 27 August from 10 am to 10 pm.
