Imagine this: Amsterdam after dark, a wristband as your golden ticket, and over 50 museums transformed into a playground of art, music, and surprises. If Museumnacht were a movie, it’d be a blockbuster, part heist (racing to see it all), part romance (falling in love with the city’s creative soul), and 100% unforgettable.
On Saturday, November 1, 2025 (19:00–02:00), Amsterdam’s cultural heart beats louder than ever. This isn’t just a night at the museum, it’s a backstage pass to the city’s artistic pulse. One ticket unlocks 70 museums, from the collaborative art jam at Treehouse NDSM to the AI Prompt Battle at Nxt Museum, the street art takeover at STRAAT, and even a funeral bus ride between life and death (courtesy of Hortus Botanicus and Tot Zover).
Add live DJs, pop-up performances, and workshops, like yoga-meets-tai-chi at Wereldmuseum, and you’ve got a script even Hollywood couldn’t write.
But here’s the twist: Without a plan, you’ll miss the best scenes. That’s where we come in. We’ve scoured the programme, and mapped out the must-see spots, so your night feels less like a sprint and more like a curated adventure. Think of this as your director’s cut: the exhibitions, workshops, and hidden gems that’ll make your Museumnacht legendary.
