On Saturday 29 August, it’s that time of year again: the Long Night of Museums invites you to a night-time exploration of Berlin’s museum scene!
The Kollwitz Museum is once again taking part in this major cultural event and, under this year’s theme ‘Crime in Berlin’, will be opening its doors from 6.00 pm to 2.00 am – in addition to its regular opening hours.
On offer will be short guided tours of the special and permanent exhibitions, an inclusive tango dance evening, culinary delights with wine and Rebstöckle, and a joint detective game organised by the Charlottenburg museums. Together with the ‘Antiker Plastik’ cast collection, the Bröhan Museum, the Scharf-Gerstenberg Collection and Charlottenburg Palace, the Kollwitz Museum invites detectives of all ages to solve tricky cases and discover the museums in a playful way.
Enjoy an unforgettable night full of highlights at the Kollwitz Museum!
