Hostels Amsterdam Festival & Events

Annual; first Saturday in November (2011 date: November 5)

Museum-Night – November 5, 2011
On November 5, 2011 the museums of Amsterdam will stay open until 2am – as part of Museum Night. You can see the main collections in all of the museums and the temporary installations too! There will also be film, music and theatre happening all around you. You can even go to a Make Your Own i-Pod Cover workshop. A ticket to this will give you access to all 45 museums participating in the event.

Since the first Museum Night in November 2000, Amsterdam museums stay open until 2AM for one night a year, and welcome thousands of new vistors. For a relatively small city, Amsterdam has a great amount of museums and cultural institutions. This year 45 museums collaborate during Museum Night, and they are all easy to reach by bicycle or public transport.

Apart from seeing the permanent collections and temporary exhibitions there is plenty more to see and do, also for non-Dutch visitors. On this edition you can enjoy live music, DJ’s, dance, performances, film, special tours, food & drinks. One ticket gives entrance to all museums, but be aware that some locations might be crowded. Keep your ticket, because in the period after Museum Night, it allows you free entrance to one of the participating museums.
