Long Night of Museums 2026 at the House of World Cultures

Long Night of Museums 2026
A Night of Clues, Crimes, and Creatures of the Dark
Guided Tours, Treasure Hunt, Reading, Performances
Step into the shadows at Haus der Kulturen der Welt (HKW), where this year’s Long Night of Museums follows the tracks of some of Berlin’s most elusive nightwalkers. Foxes, furry creatures, and other nocturnal companions guide visitors through an evening of hidden stories and unexpected encounters.
Young detectives can begin the evening by joining a treasure hunt and discover why protecting wildlife is more rewarding than hunting it—and perhaps leave with a painted fox face to match. As the evening unfolds, a spoken word performance unravels tales of crime and cunning, while a guided immersive tour opens up new ways of experiencing HKW. A late-night performance blurs virtual and physical worlds, as a queer, non-binary character and their virtual furry friends explore new ways of being together.
Later in the evening, visitors are invited to join a picnic and a collective howl under the moon, with Discoteca Volpería Grandiosa keeping the night moving with a DJ set at Weltwirtschaft.
