Berlin's museums and exhibition venues will give visitors the opportunity to view exhibitions, collections and installations as well as take part in workshops, express tours and artist talks from 6 pm to 2 am. In 2024, 75 museums will take part in the Long Night of Museums. A small selection can be found here:
Archenhold Observatory
Germany's oldest and largest public observatory in Treptower Park invites you to look up at the stars. A particular eye-catcher is the piece of debris from a meteorite. Weighing over 283 kilos, the nickel-iron piece can not only be viewed but also touched. Another highlight are the various observation instruments - above all the giant telescope with a focal length of 21 metres.
Academy of Arts
A space for changing art exhibitions, a meeting place for artists and interested parties from all over the world, an interactive art archive and a place for debate: the Akademie der Künste is one of the oldest cultural institutions in Europe. The Akademie der Künste opens its roof terrace for the Long Night of Museums. Visitors can look forward to a fantastic view of the Brandenburg Gate and Pariser Platz.
DDR Museum
Trabi, FDJ, Plattenbau and co.: the DDR Museum gives visitors an insight into all facets of life in the GDR. The interactive permanent exhibition invites visitors to familiarise themselves with everyday life in the GDR and immerse themselves in the history of the former socialist state.
German Museum of Technology
The German Museum of Technology in Berlin covers over 28,500 square metres and deals with the transformation of technology and its significance for cultural development. Hot-air balloons, steam locomotives, computers, ocean-going ships, printing presses and more: visitors can immerse themselves in the cultural history of technology at the German Museum of Technology. 14 departments invite you to take a closer look at technical developments in Germany and around the world.
Futurium
Since 2019, the Futurium has been a new venue for exhibitions and events on the topic of shaping the future in Berlin. It looks at the connection between people, nature and technology from different perspectives. Often, no ready-made solutions are presented: Instead, visitors are encouraged to think and tinker. The Futurium Lab, for example, invites visitors to experiment with soldering irons, 3D printers, laser cutters and much more.
