Every year in mid-May, Europe's museums, monuments and art venues open their doors to us for an evening full of surprises. The Nuit des Musées is a well-known event for art lovers: it's an opportunity to visit beautiful museums close to home, to discover new ones, or to enjoy an exceptional and original program.
This Saturday, May 18, 2024, in Paris and the Île-de-France region, several hundred venues await us, with guided or themed tours, shows, concerts, workshops... And plenty of other surprises! But unless you've got superpowers, you're going to have to make some choices: it's impossible to enjoy all these museums, castles and events in a single evening!
And that's where the real challenge of the Nuit des Musées comes in: how do you choose, how do you know which places to visit, which ones will have to wait until the next edition?
Of course, it's all a matter of taste and color. But we can still help. To help you sort through the many suggestions, discover below our selection of the must-sees during this Nuit des Musées 2024.
