Long Night of Museums<br />
Welcome to Berlin’s<br />
25 th Long Night of Museums!<br />
The Long Night of Museums has long been a<br />
highlight in the Berlin calendar, attracting a loyal<br />
following of locals, as well as visitors from all corners<br />
of the globe. Museums and galleries across<br />
the city open their doors late into the night, offering<br />
guests an evening of exhibitions, guided<br />
tours and special events.<br />
All venues participating in the 25 th Long Night<br />
will be offering their own responses to a central<br />
theme: how Berlin’s museum landscape has<br />
changed since Germany’s reunification. Following<br />
World War II many collections were fragmented<br />
and divided between East and West Germany.<br />
20 years on, a lot has changed!<br />
TICKETS<br />
Your Kombiticket includes entry into all participating<br />
venues and unlimited use of the shuttle<br />
bus service and of public transport (BVG and<br />
S-Bahn) in zones ABC (from 15:00 Sat 29 th Aug –<br />

SHUTTLE BUSES<br />
Although many museums are within walking<br />
distance of the Lustgarten (central meeting<br />
point), many more are spread out across the city;<br />
the shuttle buses are there to help you navigate<br />
your way between museums and see as much as<br />
possible. On every bus, a steward will be on hand<br />
to answer any questions.<br />

SPRECHEN SIE DEUTSCH?<br />
People are often unsure whether the Long Night<br />
of Museums is suitable for non German-speakers.<br />
The answer is yes, it is! Due to the wide variety<br />
of venues and programmes on offer, German is<br />
not a pre-requisite to attending the Long Night.<br />
Many venues offer information in English, and<br />
many exhibitions will speak for themselves visually.<br />
See our tips below for some ideas.<br />
