Museums as Festival Venues
Braunschweig boasts an exceptionally dense museum landscape – from the Herzog Anton Ulrich Museum with its European significance, to the Städtisches Museum, the Landesmuseum, the Naturhistorisches Museum, the Schlossmuseum, and specialized collections and galleries. The Long Night of Museums makes this diversity accessible in one evening.
One Ticket, Many Venues
The proven concept: a single combination ticket opens the doors to all participating venues. Visitors can travel between locations on foot or via shuttle buses. This allows for individual routes – whether focusing on art, natural sciences, city history, or a mix.
Behind-the-Scenes Program
Beyond the regular exhibitions, the venues offer special programs: special guided tours with curators, live music in the collection rooms, readings, creative hands-on stations, family activities, and catering. Thus, the museum becomes a place of encounter for one night – not just a place of observation.
Format for the Entire City
The Long Night reaches thousands of people in Braunschweig, including many who rarely visit museums otherwise. It is therefore an important instrument for cultural participation and one of the most successful formats in urban cultural policy.
