Night of the Arts Düsseldorf

The Night of the Museums 2025 in Düsseldorf was the last edition under the traditional name before the format is relaunched as the Night of the Arts in 2026. On a Saturday evening in April, approximately 30 Düsseldorf museums and collections — from the Kunstpalast to the NRW-Forum, the Kunstsammlung NRW (K20/K21) to the Hetjens Museum and the Heinrich Heine Institute — opened their doors for a long night. Special guided tours, concerts, and performances complemented the regular collection offerings. With the name change to Night of the Arts starting in 2026, the event will also open up to galleries, studios, and off-spaces — a conceptual expansion intended to encompass the entire Düsseldorf art scene.
