Long Night of Museums Berlin — Edition 2025

Long Night of Museums 2025 — Nearly 48,000 Visitors

In August 2025, the annual Long Night of Museums took place with 75 participating Berlin museums and approximately 48,000 visitors. The format — invented in Berlin in 1997 and now copied in over 120 cities worldwide — once again proved its appeal. With a single ticket, visitors could travel between museums from 6 PM to 2 AM, using 4 shuttle bus routes to reach venues outside the central Museum Island. The range extended from the classic cultural temples of the UNESCO Museum Island (Altes Museum, Bode-Museum, Neues Museum, Alte Nationalgalerie) to the Kulturforum with the New National Gallery and the Gemäldegalerie, and to the most unusual private collections — Trabi Museum, Samurai Art Museum, Hemp Museum, Computerspielemuseum. The Stasi Museum, Topography of Terror, Jewish Museum Berlin, and memorial sites complemented the history program. With 750 special events — express tours, workshops, concerts, readings, artist talks, performances, DJ sets — the Long Night was once again among the most important Berlin cultural events of the summer. Organizer Kulturprojekte Berlin GmbH (commissioned by the Berlin Senate Department for Culture) confirmed with this edition the enduring appeal of one of the world's oldest museum nights.
