Lange Nacht der Museen Hamburg

In the organizer's words:

On Saturday, April 18, 2026, it's that time again: during the Long Night of Museums, 53 museums, exhibition venues and memorial sites will open their doors from 6 p . m. to 1 a.m. and invite you to discover art, history, nature and technology in a special evening atmosphere. The Long Night of Museums offers the opportunity to experience well-known museums in a new way and to get to know previously undiscovered things.

You can put together your own personal route through the night from over 500 events. The program includes guided tours, workshops, lectures, music, sing-alongs and much more. The program is supplemented by offers for people with visual or hearing impairments and guided tours in various languages.

In the German Harbour Museum (under construction) you can follow sniffer dogs at work, experience the Hamburg Motorcycle Squadron in the Police Museum, take a walk in the footsteps of the former German Chancellor in the Helmut Schmidt Forum, expand your knowledge of the unconscious in art and science in the Medical History Museum during the lecture "From Kiss to Knowledge" or meet the glass artists Wilfried Grootens and Matyas Pavlik in the Achilles Foundation Glass Museum.

Children and young people will also find plenty to do - such as a pirate rally on the Cap San Diego, South Korean fairy tales at MARKK or animal encounters at the Wildlife Embassy.

Tickets are now available online in the ticket store or on site at the participating museums and advance booking offices. New this year: children and young people under the age of 18 receive a €0 ticket!
