Brno Museum Night 2025 has once again prepared an attractive program with new features that you can enjoy with all your senses.

On Saturday, May 17th, the twenty-first edition of the Brno Museum Night will take place. Museums, galleries, and other institutions will offer a rich program at a time when they are usually closed. From six o'clock until midnight, interested visitors can explore a total of 53 locations.

New edition

This year, 30 cultural institutions are participating in the Brno Museum Night, which, as is customary, will open its doors at 6 PM and, in addition to exhibitions and displays, will offer a variety of creative activities for both adults and children. This year, for example, you can explore St. James' Church completely for the first time and with all your senses – on a tour of the restored historic trusses with a multimedia exhibition or join a guided tour by candlelight. The Fait Gallery has once again joined the list of participating institutions with its current exhibition by Petr Kvíčala, as well as Kino Scala, which invites you to an exhibition in its foyer.

„Brno Museum Night shows how culturally rich our city is. More and more institutions are participating, so visitors can admire historical monuments, natural science exhibitions, or contemporary art centers. The program will appeal to everyone – whether you want to explore normally inaccessible spaces, attend an exhibition, a performance, a concert, a workshop, or come with children for fun. Each year brings new surprises that always amaze me. Brno is not just a center of education and culture, but also a city where life is good and where such things are done with enthusiasm and playfulness. A city that is developing but does not lose its soul.“ summarized in his message the Prime Minister of the Czech Republic, Petr Fiala.

Visitors will also have access to normally inaccessible places and can look forward to guided tours, workshops, lectures, concerts, and of course, a rich program for children of all ages is prepared across the institutions. The complete program can be found at www.brnenskamuzejninoc.cz, this year we have modified the website and improved its clarity, further in a new mobile application, and of course still in a printed brochure, which will be available at individual institutions. An information stand in a historic bus will be open from May 14 to 16 from 10 AM to 6 PM at Freedom Square, and on the day of the event, May 17, it will move to Moravian Square, where it will be open from 4 PM to 10 PM.

Transportation between the individual venues has been provided free of charge for 20 years by the Brno Public Transport Company through the Integrated Transport System. Special tram line A, night lines, and lines to more distant cities within the South Moravian Region will also be prepared. This year, Brno Museum Night has again collaborated with graphic designer Eva Havelková, who last year, on the 20th anniversary of Brno Museum Night, gifted a new visual identity and logo. Another mobile application that has been very successful among visitors.

„We owe the nightlife in spring in Brno primarily to Brno Museum Night. I remember the times when the nightlife in Brno was mainly represented by open museums and galleries, and long lines formed at the entrances. Today, it’s a bit different – everything is planned, so in addition to brochures, we also have a mobile application that you can download. But don’t worry, you can still improvise! All places have a great program, and the museums are open at night for curious children who don’t want to stay at home.“ adds Jan Press, director of the Moravian Gallery, which is the guarantor of Brno Museum Night.

When the Moravian Gallery joined the Museum Night festival in 2004, a thousand curious visitors attended, and since then, attendance has grown to a stable level of around 50,000. A major attraction this year for many more visitors will surely be the exhibition "Rathouský System" at the Pražák Palace, which presents one of the most significant graphic designers and typographers of the Czech post-war generation, who is inseparably linked with the timeless design of the orientation system of the Prague metro.

Brno Museum Night is held under the auspices of the Minister of Culture Martin Baxa, the Mayor of the statutory city of Brno Markéta Vaňková, the Governor of the South Moravian Region Jan Grolich, the Mayor of the Brno-střed district Vojtěch Mencl, and the Bishop of the Brno Diocese Pavel Konzbul. It takes place with the financial support of the Statutory City of Brno and the South Moravian Region.
