Night of Nights

With Dream The Night Away as the starting point, we will explore the dimensions between fact and fiction as well as immerse ourselves in the hope and magic of dreamscapes; from the calming to the discomforting, and everything in between. There is excitement already in the air: the participating venues, numerous cultural partners, and many employees, volunteers, and young people cannot wait to open the doors together again during this Night of Museumnachten (Museum Nights).

Museumnacht Maastricht has proven many times over that dreams can come true. Things that are currently not displayed or even not displayed at all in broad daylight are given the chance to blossom during Museumnacht Maastricht. The result: unforgettable, nocturnal repertoires including but not limited to disorienting Black Holes, intoxicating jungles, conspiracy theories, happy and unhappy mazes, and even a human 'frikandel speciaal'. As with previous editions, expect nothing short of everything: from legendary speeches to yet-to-be-created texts from the future, from murder mysteries to shopping for survival bunkers with the Kardashians, from a 'Debath' to a ‘Zwamkar’ (mushroom truck), from low-key to upbeat, from daydreaming to living it up like party animals, from therapy to first-date, from artefacts to future facts, from standing still to 200 BPM, from beginning to end and everything in between and beyond.

In short, surrender on Friday 8 April 2022 to this special adventure - or ARTventure as we like to call it - full of unexpected encounters, mind-blowing talent, and inviting laughter. Whether for the purpose of admiring art, discovering unknown realities, or celebrating friendships.
