During these evenings, visitors can explore the permanent and temporary collections of the 48 participating museums from 18:00 to 22:00. The events are organised by zone, allowing participants to visit multiple museums each evening.
The Nocturnes programme includes classic guided tours, workshops, behind-the-scenes tours, performances, and concerts.
The Meunier Museum, the Braille Museum, and the Porte de Hal will rejoin the programme after several years of absence. The Jewish Museum of Belgium will also open its doors for one evening, despite ongoing renovation works.
This year, museums outside of Brussels will participate for the first time. These include the Botanical Garden of Meise, the FeliX Art & Eco Museum in Drogenbos, and the Wellington Museum in Waterloo.
Brussels Museums aims to focus on inclusion this year.
Sign language tours will be organised at La Loge, the Institute of Natural Sciences, the Coudenberg Palace, and the Children’s Museum. The Maison Cauchie and the Wittockiana will offer tours focused on female artists.
Several free museums will also participate in the Nocturnes.
