Never been to Nuit Blanche? It's never too late! This artistic event is one of the highlights of Parisian nightlife. For an entire night, from 6 p.m. until the wee hours of the morning, Paris and the surrounding départements are transformed into a giant stage, hosting contemporary art installations, shows, sculptures, light displays, concerts and other artistic events. A free, open-air stroll for the curious and art-lovers alike.

The capital's museums are often not part of the city's classic program, preferring to offer their own events alongside those of the city, but always in keeping with the themes of the moment. So it's not easy to know which museums will be opening their doors to us on this special evening.

Fortunately, Sortiraparis.com is here to help you make the most of every moment of this Nuit Blanche. We've put together a list of all the establishments in Paris and the Paris region that are open to you for this exceptional night out.
