Where does the Long Night take place?
More than 100 museums, collections, institutions and galleries are taking part this year. They are the place where it all happens. You can find the locations of the individual houses in the city maps of the respective tours in the program booklet.
Where does the Children’s Program take place?
At 14 museums, most of which are also taking part in the evening program of the Long Night. The addresses and the program at each venue can be found here.
How and how long are young people allowed to visit the Long Night?
The German law concerning minors in public applies, the Jugendschutzgesetz. This means that young persons over 16 may take part in the event without accompanying adult until midnight at the latest. Should 16 and 17-year-olds want to stay longer, then – and the following also applies to all those not yet 16 years old – a legal guardian or person authorized as such must take over supervision. This can be parents or, for example, older siblings, uncle or aunt. The supervision duty should be clearly delegated by the parents for the event, confirmed in writing with a telephone number under which the parents can be reached. For this purpose you can use the Formular des Jugendamtes München (form by the Youth Office Munich). Further details can be found at their website.

How can I get information during the event?
The heart of the Long Night beats at Odeonsplatz. Starting on the day of the event at 1 pm, there will be an information booth there where we would be glad to answer your questions concerning the Long Night. Our Info Scouts will also be along on the tours and are also ready to answer any questions you may have.
How do I get home after the Long Night?
The MVG Nachtlinien (Night-owl Lines) will be operating between approx. 1 and 5 am. We recommend using the MVG app ("MVG Fahrinfo München"). You can find more information at mvg.de.
What do I see on the poster motif?
KIADI KIBENI – THE PLASTIC WOMAN
Composed of cups and cosmetics containers, this mask costume denounces the pollution of planet earth by plastic waste. It was created in 2023 by artist Sarah Ndele from the DR Congo and is now on display at the Museum Fünf Kontinente. As a member of the artist collective Ndaku Ya, Ndele refers to the significant role of mask rituals in many African societies when coping in times of crisis.
