For eight straight hours, you can go on a nocturnal expedition and discover 41 museums and other cultural institutions during the Basel Museums Night. The participating institutions have planned around 200 thrilling events for young and old, including numerous events especially for families. You can enjoy exciting discoveries, delectable moments, and interesting and unusual encounters around the various exhibits and collections. For English-speaking guests, the program includes special tours in English at various institutions. Many other events also don’t require knowledge of the German language (eg, concerts). The full program, which will be published by January, will be available on their website. Activities for children and families, as well as foreign-language and language-independent events, will be marked with special icons.
