Long Night of the Museums

Berlin Secrets

Schloss Charlottenburg

For this year's Long Night of Museums, we are opening up the living and state rooms of the first Prussian royal couple. They are located in the Old Palace, the central part of the palace complex. Here you can explore the magnificent rooms, halls and cabinets, which were designed more than 300 years ago and restored after the Second World War, on your own. You are welcome to use the tours offered in our app.

In keeping with the motto "Berlin Secrets", we offer a look behind the shiny surface: live speakers talk about people and events in the palace. Short guided tours focus on the origins and history of the items on display in the palace. If you want to get active yourself, you can equip yourself as a detective in the courtyard and then go in search of exciting works of art and stories here and in the four neighboring museums.

Exciting stories are told in the Great Orangery of Charlottenburg Palace. Treat yourself to a break here - with drinks and snacks. Musical entertainment will be provided by Andrea Chudak (soprano), Lidiya Naumova (guitar) and other artists.

In cooperation with the Berlin museums and Kulturprojekte Berlin GmbH.Information and full program: langenachtdermuseen.berlinEvent location and venue Große Orangerie
