Zurich’s Night At Museums (Die lange Nacht der Zürcher Museen) takes place on 7 September 2024. That’s a rare opportunity to visit different museums and art galleries at night.
Once a year, for one night, most of the museums in Zurich open their doors and invite visitors to discover exhibitions in an utterly unique way. Seeing displays after sunset is a special and memorable experience. This beautiful event starts the season of many vivid autumn events in Zurich.
The organisation of the event is very efficient. Firstly, the public transport operator – VBZ, organises museum bus shuttles that run between museums, making your night relaxing and joyful. In addition, many places offer delicious food and drinks and arrange guided tours, workshops and music programs.

Each museum and collection are unique, yet their impact on us, challenging our imagination, is unified and inspiring.
We are looking forward to lots of exciting workshops, exhibitions and special guided tours. For instance, to learn about the Fraumünster church through the candlelit walk down to the Crypt Museum. Or craft traditional Japanese Kokeshi dolls at the Rietberg Museum. Another museum that we are excited to visit every year is the FIFA World Football Museum. Its unique tours and Sports Bar 1904 create an extraordinary atmosphere. And, of course, fun flour grinding and baking workshops at the historical industrial mill Mühlerama.
Some of our favourite places to visit include Cabaret Voltaire, Atelier Hermann Haller, Botanischer Garten, Landesmuseum, Kunsthaus, Helmhaus, Museum Rietberg, Museum der Anthropologie, Pavillon Le Corbusier, City Hall of Zurich, Uhrenmuseum Beyer, Zoological Museum, and, of course, the Zoo.
You can check the whole list of participating museums, programs, events and timetables on the official website.
