One Night – The Entire Museum Landscape of Hannover
The Night of the Museums will take place in 2026 on Saturday, June 6th – five hours between 6 PM and 11:30 PM, during which Hannover's city center will be transformed into a large cultural space. The major institutions are involved, as well as smaller, often less well-known ones: the Landesmuseum Hannover, the Sprengel Museum, the Historisches Museum, the Museum August Kestner, the Wilhelm Busch – Deutsches Museum für Karikatur und Zeichenkunst, as well as numerous art associations, galleries, and off-spaces.
Voices of the City – Choir Project 2026
This year's special project is titled Voices of the City. Various choirs will parade through the city center on two routes, performing at changing locations. The idea: to carry the soundscape of the museum night beyond the walls of the individual venues into public spaces. Visitors can either follow a specific choir or switch between routes.
Participation of the KunstFestSpiele Herrenhausen
The KunstFestSpiele Herrenhausen, one of Germany's most renowned contemporary cultural festivals, is also participating this year with its own program items. This connects classical museum operations with the avant-garde of the international performance and sound art scene.
Mobility Between Venues
A shuttle system will be set up between the widely dispersed venues for the Night of the Museums. The ticket also serves as a travel pass for the shuttles and selected lines of Hannover's public transport.
Night of the Museums Hannover — edition 2026
The 2026 edition continues the proven concept of previous years and adds new accents. With the choir project Voices of the City, public space is actively integrated, and with the participation of the KunstFestSpiele Herrenhausen, contemporary performance art is brought more into focus.
The participating venues develop their own programs – from curated special tours and hands-on activities for families to concerts and live performances. The exact program items per venue will be published in the weeks leading up to the event.
