“Forget the red-light district, forget the tulip market, and don’t even think about rolling a joint in a coffeehouse. Amsterdam’s Museumnacht has so much to offer, you’ll never see Amsterdam in the same light again.”

English newspaper The Guardian has written an extensive introduction to the Amsterdam museumnacht. Every year, for one night, 41 museums remain open and offer more than 200 free activities to curious visitors. At 2am, when the museums close, the party begins in the nine clubs celebrating the event until dawn.

The even is focussing more and more on non-Dutch visitors, either foreign students and expats, or visitors from abroad. This has resulted a.o. in the new collaboration with Time Out Amsterdam and the cultural newspaper Amsterdam Weekly.
