FAQ
Can I buy one ticket to get into all the participating museums, as in previous years?
No. This year you need to buy a separate €2.50 ticket for each museum you want to visit.
Where can I buy tickets for Museumnacht?
Tickets need to be purchased separately from each museum’s website. For a list of participating museums with ticket sales links, see https://www.groningermuseum.nl/bezoek/activiteiten/museumnacht
How can I attend Museumnacht safely?
Each participating museum is selling a limited number of timed-entry tickets, and audiences for performances will be kept small. These measures are designed to keep everyone’s visit as safe as possible.
Can I attend Museumnacht performances without booking in advance?
Because places are limited, we ask that you register to attend certain performances that are likely to be popular. Registration closes 15 minutes before the start time.
Do I need to follow any special rules in the museums?
Yes, special rules are in force at the museums on the advice of the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment and the Museums Association. Please read the rules here and follow museum staff’s instructions.
Is there a dress code?
While the exhibitions are of course indoors, performances will take place outside the museums, so please dress for the weather.
