A major cultural event every year, the Nuit des Musées returns for 2025 with a mouth-watering program. Hundreds of museums across France are inviting you to enjoy a wide range of experiences. In Paris, in particular, some 80 establishments are taking part in this wonderful event. We tell you all about this unmissable evening.
Nuit des Musées is back for 2025!
As the warmer weather arrives, our cultural agenda continues to expand! There are plenty of exhibitions to choose from in the capital this spring, and there’s something for every culture-lover. The icing on the cake is the Nuit des Musées (Museum Night), a great idea for a night out.
We’re looking forward to seeing you on Saturday, May 17, for special tours, lectures and even shows and concerts! From major institutions such as the Musée du Quai Branly, Orsay and the Louvre, to little-known cultural hotspots such as the Musée de la Vie Romantique, the Musée Cognacq-Jay and the Musée des Arts Décoratifs: the finest cultural venues will be answering the call. It’s up to you to do the same!
