K-Pop, street food and an exhibition at the Cernuschi Museum for Paris's 2026 Museum Night

The Cernuschi Museum – Paris City’s Museum of Asian Arts opens its doors wide on Saturday, May 23, 2026, for a free night as part of the 22nd Nuit des Musées. Here’s the program they’re putting together for the event!

La Nuit des Musées returns every year in mid-May, for a unique and very special evening: during this unmissable event, museums, institutions, foundations and artists' houses pull out all the stops to offer visitors an exceptional artistic and cultural experience. The event gives the public the chance to take a fresh look at the collections of museums large and small in Paris and the greater Paris region.

Some offer special guided tours, while others offer shows, children's activities, games or concerts... As you'll see, during this unusual night, even the museums and monuments you know by heart can surprise you.

Saturday May 23, 2026, for the 22nd edition of the Night of Museums, we’re off to the Cernuschi Museum to (re)discover the treasures of the arts of Asia. Ancient objects, sculptures, paintings, bronzes and ceramics, prints or drawings: great civilizations unfold through these exceptional works.

The Musée Cernuschi awaits us for a special evening in the heart of the 8th arrondissement. Without further ado, here's the detailed program for this Nuit des Musées. Don't forget to get to the museum early to make sure you can take advantage of every activity!
