Event: Museum Nights Düsseldorf - A party among artworks
Experience the magic of Düsseldorf's Night of Museums, an enchanting cultural festival that illuminates the city's rich artistic heritage. On Saturday, April 26th, from 7 PM to 2 AM, over 50 artistic "locations" will open their doors, inviting you to explore the city's museums, galleries, and cultural exhibitions in a unique nighttime setting.
The event promises a diverse array of experiences, with special programs, performances, and installations designed to captivate and inspire. Highlights include the exhibition of "Superheroes" at the NRW-Forum, Jacques Tilly's three-dimensional caricatures for Düsseldorf's Rosenmontag parade, and Chagall at K20.
Art enthusiasts will delight in discovering art in unexpected places, such as a former swimming pool on Tersteegenstraße and the renovated toilet facility "Reinraum" on Aderstraße. The Clemens Sels Museum in Neuss presents "The Unboxing Experience" with guided tours and a cocktail bar, while the Media Design University invites visitors to video shows and music in the harbor.
Comedians will provide laughter in Rheinpark, Neuss, and a DJ will perform in the historic little castle of the district government on Cecilienallee. An art projection by Elena Panknin will illuminate the Rheinturm until the early morning hours, adding a touch of mystery and wonder to the night.
