Munich Museums’ Long Night on 17 October – we’ll be there!
Here’s what to expect at the Deutsches Museum during the Long Night: Get in the mood and secure your tickets now.
Every year, yet always different: For the Long Night of Museums, we invite all night owls, museum enthusiasts, and event seekers to experience the Deutsches Museum from a whole new angle. Whether on a guided tour or exploring on your own, the more than 20 exhibitions offer plenty of interactive stations to try out during your nighttime stroll. For once, adults can jump in and build marble runs in the Kids’ Kingdom. Meanwhile, science shows in the auditorium and live demonstrations in the chemistry lecture hall regularly leave the audience in awe.
Expect plenty of surprising encounters—meet mountain farmers sharing stories of their lives and work, passionate ham radio operators, or dancing robots that bring extra energy to the world-famous haven of technology. Weather permitting, the observatory team invites you up to the rooftop terrace next to the Frau im Mond restaurant for a spot of stargazing. Plus, both the main restaurant and the Aviation Hall Lounge offer comfortable spaces to kick back, relax, and soak in the evening.

Plan your evening
To help you make the most of the Long Night, we recommend taking a look at our detailed programme, which we will be publishing here shortly:
‘What moves us’ – that is the Transport Centre’s motto. Whether on castors, tyres, wheels or runners – in the three listed buildings on the Theresienhöhe, visitors can discover the full diversity of land transport, either at their own pace or on guided tours. Anyone who wants to get moving themselves – or be moved – can try out the ‘crazy’ bikes in the courtyard, be thoroughly jolted about in the carriage simulator, or glide towards the future in the ‘Supra-Gleiter’.
The photographs by Martin Roemers, presented in the special exhibition “Homo Mobilis”, are moving in a completely different way. The large-format images of people from all over the world in their vehicles are deeply moving, with their expressive power and rich detail.
