On Saturday, November 2 you can attend Museum Night Cologne, where over 50 cultural hotspots and institutions open their doors for visitors to discover the beauty of museums in Cologne.

Museum Night (Museumsnacht)

For just one night, spend the evening discovering new places in Cologne or going back to familiar favourites to get inspiration. The museums are almost all open at 7pm and stay open until 2am, with last entry at 1.30am. The only exceptions to this are the Domgrabung Köln, the 1000freund Gallery and the Thielenbruch Tram Museum which close at midnight. At the Wallraf-Richartz-Museum & Fondation Corboud and the Kulturbunker Cologne-Mülheim you can join the after-party and keep the night going until 5am!

Plan your perfect night

Visitors are welcome to create their own route using public transportation, and your Museum Night ticket gives you access to all local KVB transport services. There are also two shuttle services you can take advantage of. The Bimmelbahn-Rhein-Express connects several locations in Südstadt and travels mostly alongside the Rhine. On the other side of the river (the Schäl Sick), you can find the Deutz-Mülheim-Shuttle connecting locations in Mülheim and Deutz.

It is recommended to download the app from the Museum Night website as it can be used to create your own itinerary for the night. Along with art galleries, studios and museums, Museum Night also has many live concerts and DJ sets that keep the party going well into the night. There will also be performances and interactive events throughout the night, and guided tours in English, Ukrainian, Turkish and Italian!
