About Lange Nacht der Museen – Steglitz-Zehlendorf

The Lange Nacht der Museen is Berlin's most famous museum night – and originated in 1997 as the world's first event of its kind. With a single ticket, around 75 museums, collections, and cultural-historical sites across Berlin are accessible for six hours on an August night. The Steglitz-Zehlendorf district concentrates a particularly dense and worthwhile selection: the Museum Europäischer Kulturen in Dahlem, the Brücke-Museum with its collection of Expressionists, the Haus am Waldsee, the Liebermann-Villa am Wannsee, the Alliiertenmuseum, and other institutions. A BVG bus shuttle connects the locations.

Berlin's Museum Night with Worldwide Role Model Status

The Lange Nacht der Museen Berlin was invented by Kulturprojekte Berlin in 1997 and is now the capital's most important regular museum event. With just one ticket, around 75 museums, collections, and cultural-historical sites throughout Berlin are accessible from 6 p.m. to 2 a.m. – including special programs, concerts, readings, guided tours, workshops, and performances.

Focus on Steglitz-Zehlendorf

The Steglitz-Zehlendorf district in southwest Berlin showcases its richest cultural-historical side on this evening. Several important institutions are concentrated in the Dahlem district: the Museum Europäischer Kulturen (Arnimallee 25), the Brücke-Museum with its collection of German Expressionists, the Alliiertenmuseum as a memorial site of the Cold War. In the Zehlendorf district, the Haus am Waldsee serves as a gallery for contemporary art, and in the Wannsee district, the Liebermann-Villa with Max Liebermann's summer house and garden.

Shuttle Buses Through the Night

A specially established BVG shuttle bus connects the institutions. This allows visitors to combine several museums in one evening – for example, MEK, Brücke, and Liebermann-Villa, or Alliiertenmuseum, Haus am Waldsee, and Domäne Dahlem. Waiting times are mainly at the most visited institutions, but the atmosphere in the nocturnal rooms is exceptional.

Special Programs Until After Midnight

Many museums open normally closed storage areas, offer exclusive guided tours, and invite musicians, dancers, or performance artists. Family programs take place in the early evening hours; from 10 p.m. onwards, the tone shifts – concerts, readings, cocktails in the museum café. The organizer is Kulturprojekte Berlin in cooperation with the Berlin museums.
