Fans of great deals and cultural outings, mark your calendars! The Night of Museums invites you to join on this Saturday, May 23, 2026, for a new edition packed with extraordinary late opens, free tours and quirky activities. A can't-miss plan!
Museums, monuments, châteaux and fine institutions: a host of cultural venues are getting in on the act, revealing their programs in turn, which may include free tours, concerts, creative workshops, performances, artist installations, shows and other surprising surprises. The least we can say is that Paris and the whole Île-de-France region are in a festive mood for this new edition!
Paris is arguably one of the most beautiful cities in the world, and that’s true. The surrounding region also boasts a rich heritage and stunning landscapes worth a visit. Today, we head to the Val d'Oise, specifically the town of Pontoise, where you’ll find the Carré Patrimoine, the Centre d'Interprétation de l'Architecture et du Patrimoine (CIAP). Here you can explore the town’s history through the ages, from the 19th‑century Impressionists to its evolution and urbanization. So, what will this modern educational space bring to the Nuit de Musées 2026?
Take advantage of a guided tour to discover all the riches of Pontoise’s heritage.
Departures every 30 minutes from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
Access via Tavet Alley or via the Tavet Museum (stairs on the left).
