Geneva Museum Night

Museum Night (la Nuit des Musées) has been an unmissable annual event since 2013, and gives visitors the chance to discover Geneva’s cultural heritage after dark. A unique theme creates a unifying thread for the programmes of the 30 participating cultural and scientific institutions. The event is traditionally held in May.
