Berlin 16-08-2010
One of cultural Berlin’s best-known events is called ‘The Long Night of Museums’/ Lange Nacht der Museen, and it is just that and so successfull have they proven to be that they are onto to the 27th one now.
Nearly 100 museums and galleries will open their doors for extended hours, inviting visitors on what will hopefully be a mild summer evening –and not thunderous and rainy like today – into special exhibitions, guided tours, music and other such attractions.
One current focus of this 27th event is the bicentenary celebrations of the independence of ten Latin American nations, where different venues will reflect their cultural history in exhibitions and programs.Culturally, it will matter little where your interests lie –whether in the sciences, visual arts, history, music or history of culture – this evening will provide something for all tastes. There will both time and place to find quiet contemplation or sound full performances – the ‘Long Night of Museums’ has something for everyone.
One unique one-off highlight for this Long Night of the Museums is a result of cooperation with the ‘Jüdische Kulturtage’ which for the first time will provide access to 5 synagogues using the same ticket as for other museums.
Most of the venues will be within walking distance of the ‘Lustgarten’ however others are spread out across the city – therefore, as on previous occasions, a free shuttle-bus service will help museum visitors navigate between museums along with cutting down on the travel time – and increase the Museum-time
There will be steward on each bus to assist in answering any questions.
