Extraordinary experiences
Always wanted to do some Greek wrestling in a museum? Or eat food inspired by recipes from centuries ago? At the Museum night (Museumnacht in Dutch) all this and more is possible. All participating museums offer their visitors a special program connected to their permanent collections. Famous writers give lectures, fashion designers present their new collections and in 2012 it was even possible to go to a real zombie workshop inspired by Hitchcock at the EYE Film Museum.
Second visit
For the Museum night you have to buy a ticket that will give you entrance to all the locations and above that free use of the Amsterdam public transport (GVB). Don’t throw away your ticket, because it will give you free entrance to a museum of your choice during the day.
