Nocturnes 2026 : Brussels’ Museums After Hours
The Brussels Museums’ Nocturnes are back!
The countdown is on! From 12 March to 23 April, you can once again enjoy evening visits to more than 40 museums, outside their regular opening hours. For seven consecutive Thursdays, around seven Brussels museums open their doors just for you, offering an exclusive experience.
As in previous years, you’ll get an in-depth experience with guided tours, behind-the-scenes visits and extra muros activities off-site. New this year: every week features one ‘special’ event — a tasting, a dance workshop, a games night or an extra late opening.
Highlights include: a flashlight tour (followed by a drink with a view), a tasting featuring aphrodisiacs, medieval dance, a guided tour on ‘invisible’ women artists, and bread baking in the garden of Felix de Boeck. Thanks to Open Museum, inclusive activities are back too, including a guided tour centred on feminism.
