Nuit des musées 2021

20 YEARS OF NUIT DES MUSÉES!

Since its first edition in 2001, on the initiative of the "d'stater muséeën" group, the Nuit des Musées in Luxembourg City has become an annual event not to be missed by culture and heritage enthusiasts, allowing them to visit the seven museums of the group by night. The 20th anniversary of the Nuit des Musées awaits you with a special programme of guided tours, music, performances, workshops, culinary surprises and a festive all-nighter at Casino Luxembourg with a DJ set by Lagerkultur.

In order to facilitate the night-time itinerary, a combined ticket for the seven museums has been introduced as well as free shuttles.

Tickets available in advance at Casino Luxembourg (only on site). Amis des Musées and Frënn vum Naturmusée are entitled to a free ticket.

Programme at the Casino Luxembourg :

17:00 – 01:00Straight Nose, Queer Mouth Photoboothby Elodie Grethen, photographer

This project aims to question the need for a classification between heterosexual and homosexual people and the role that technology and photography play in this. Through this installation, visitors are confronted with their own stereotypes and their perception of sexual orientation as a social construct. Visitors will leave with a personal analysis and photo.

19:00 + 22:00There is a Thin Membrane in Between EverythingPerformance by the collective ykasppkmkm40'

The artist collective ykasppkmkm will present a performance combining contemporary dance, song and music.

17:00 – 21:00Drawing workshop for children

In the evening, when the sun sets and night replaces day, diffuse neon lights, fluorescent signs and bright street lamps transform the face of our streets. Coloured lights emerge and become landmarks in the darkness of the night. Equipped with wax crayons and black paint, we will embark on a creative search for the city's night lights.

17:30 (FR) + 18:15 (EN) + 19:00 (DE)Mystères aux MuséesReadings by author Marie-Isabelle Callier20'

Karolina Markiewicz and Pascal Piron's new multimedia exhibition builds on and merges with contemporary poetry to express the world's actuality, but also its history and myths. 

A world through which we feel and which perhaps allows us to be part of a human community.

00:30 (EN)Coup de cœur : Queer Paths with filmmaker Anastasia Pierucci

Ana is a creator born in Luxembourg. She studied theatre and Acting at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama and then went on to study and work in Los Angeles at the University of Southern California where she graduated in Film & TV Production. After graduating she worked in film and advertisement until moving back to Luxembourg where she got the opportunity to direct “Mazes” a post-apocalyptic themed film with Samsa Films. During her free time she loves to write and create community. Through her social media, Ana represents and advocates for the LGBTQ+ community and talks and shares about her experiences as a queer woman and artist.

01:00 – 03:00Keep It Nightcurated by LAGERKULTURAfterparty

DJ set: Bjeor (BE)

After the museums' closure at 01:00, join Casino Luxembourg's afterparty.

Bjeor is a Leuven-born, Brussels-based, house-minded deejay. Steadily paving his way during the past ten years, Bjeor conquered the Belgian electronic music scene inch by inch, setting numerous dj booths and dance floors on fire during so.

Some highlights: various appearances at Horst, his Boiler Room debut in Brussels, an everlasting after-hours trip in Helsinki and peak time slots in Paris and Lille. Juggling with slow gems, forgotten hits and future classics, Bjeor’s got a trick up in every sleeve. He’s also a co-founder of pop-up nightclub ‘nacht‘ in STELPLAATS (Leuven).

Apart from his residency at Kiosk Radio he prefers to steer clear of the camera spotlights, but give him a high-spirited dance floor and he will be thriving. 

Entry accessible only with Nuit des Musées-ticket
