Museum Night Fever welcomed 16,550 participants across 28 museums in Brussels on Saturday evening,
The seventeenth edition of Museum Night Fever opened museums to the public after hours and hosted an array of artistic and cultural events. Its organisers are celebrating a "very successful" installment despite the reduced number of participating museums this year.
This time round, the most popular museums were BOZAR, with 10,872 entries, the BELvue Museum, with 9,973, followed by La Monnaie with 5,293 and Halles Saint-Géry with 3,850.
Belgian Beer World, participating for the first time, attracted 1,995 visitors. The Tram Museum offered historic bus rides on the "green" line, turning shuttle services into a travelling museum.
Visitors averaged three to four museum visits each, resulting in a total of 62,116 museum visits between 19:00 on Saturday and 01:00 on Sunday.

Over 70% of Museum Night Fever attendees were aged between 18 and 35. "Thanks to its eclectic programme and affordable entry prices, the event attracted a young and diverse audience," Brussels Museums stated on Saturday.
The festivities continued late into the night with two afterparties at C12 and Botanique, both of which were sold out.
The eighteenth edition of Museum Night Fever in Brussels is scheduled for 18 October 2025.
