Museum Night Fever returns on Saturday October 22 in an even more inclusive format.

This year, Museum Night Fever is even more committed to its inclusive policy. Part of the programming has been the subject of a appeal to artists from LGBTQIA+ communities to give pride of place to their talents and messages, which are still underrepresented in the usual museum programming.

With 34 museums open across Brussels, this is the largest edition ever organised. As every year, the Night of the Museums offers its visitors the opportunity to create their original journey through a hundred artistic events, the result of links forged between young multidisciplinary talents, collectives or art schools and the museum teams. The object of the event? Transform and decompartmentalize museums in the most original way possible for the greatest pleasure of all audiences.

To facilitate the Museum Night Fever experience, STIB shuttles run throughout the evening between the various participating locations and, new, historic trams and buses also provide one of the shuttles offered.

Also note since the lifting of the covid restrictions: the maximum capacity of the participating places is again guaranteed and an after party will be held at C12 to end the evening in style!

EVER MORE OPEN PROGRAMMING

From the point of view of programming , the museums have called on a hundred young artists for a carte blanche , the time of an evening, to reinterpret their exhibitions through their practice or simply to set the mood. Immersive installations, concerts, DJ sets, participatory workshops, dance, urban circus, fashion show, poetry or even silent disco: the festive and informal atmosphere of Museum Night Fever is a unique opportunity for those who are still hesitant to push the gate of the museums.

Museum Night Fever also improves its information for people with disabilities and carries out during the evening a complete audit for the accessibility of people with special needs via the independent organization Access-i. The recommendations made by the organization will be used to better adapt the event beyond its constraints in the years to come and, failing that, to offer courses suitable for everyone.

MASS EVENT AND SUSTAINABLE COMMITMENT

In 2019 and 2021, Museum Night Fever welcomed 17,000 and 12,000 people respectively, with an average of 75% under 35 years old.

To reduce the ecological impact of this major event and address the issue of carbon emissions in the cultural field, MNF is implementing a sustainability charter this year which will lay the foundations for annual improvement.

Prioritize the soft mobility of workers and public, reduce and treat waste appropriately, review the production of goodies in a sustainable way, adjust the production of communication media and work with local partners and local businesses for the event are all eco-friendly gestures through which we wish to contribute to sustainable development and encourage museums to adopt these practices in their daily lives.
