Several thousand French museums are taking part in the Night of Museums, including several hundred in Paris and in Île-de-France. This major cultural event marks its 22nd edition, on Saturday, May 23, 2026. Each year, the Night of Museums invites the curious to discover and visit numerous museums and cultural venues for one extraordinary evening. A range of activities is organized for visitors of all ages. And if you need another excuse to enjoy this event, know that most museums are free that evening!
The Nuit des Musées is the ideal time to get off the beaten track and discover little-known museums. And you don't have to travel far for new experiences: in Brunoy, in theEssonne region of France, you'll find the Robert Dubois - Corneau museum.
This museum bears the name of a major benefactor of the town of Brunoy, who devoted his life to the history of Brunoy and the Yerres valley. The venue thus showcases a diverse array of works, spanning from the 18th century to today, tracing the town’s history. A free, must-see stop this Saturday May 23, 2026.
Fakir, Grenouille, Croquet, trapenum, carom and passe-trappe, for unruly family games.
In an evening devoted to night and light, a workshop on making a beeswax candle using an age-old method.
A roughly 30-minute guided tour through the museum's permanent collections or the exhibition dedicated to painter Achille Varin.
When the sun goes down, a shadow play inspired by La Fontaine's fables offers a gentle illumination of the night and invites reflection on their moral lessons. Presented by Le théâtre des Ombres.
A great evening out with family and friends!
