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: for us, 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 Ile-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 Nuit des Musées comes in: how do you choose, how do you know which places to visit, which ones will have to wait for the next edition?
Of course, it's all a matter of taste and color. However, we can still try to help you. To help you sort through the many suggestions, discover below our selection of the must-sees during this Nuit des Musées 2024.
