Museum Night Fever is a collaboration between museums in Brussels to open their doors to visitors and young artists on Saturday evening the 14^th of March. With 31 museums collaborating, the 13^th edition is setting out to be the biggest one yet.

Museums are offering themselves up to serve as a playground for young artists who will perform over 100 events from 7 p.m. until 1 a.m. Think several concerts, black magic, and even a giant luminous jellyfish. The idea behind the initiative, according to the press release, is to “refute the formal image of museums, access to which is still a privilege for many.”

Be ready for a party
For the first time, the Sewer Museum and Fondation A Stichting are participating in the event. There are even several museums making a comeback, one of them Botanique. The famous cultural center in the heart of Brussels will serve as a gigantic murder mystery game with live music and guided tours. Five museums are even holding afterparties from midnight till 3 a.m. and shuttles are included in the price.

Museum Night Fever will take place Saturday 14th March from 7 p.m. till 1 a.m. Tickets are 13 euro in presale and 17 euro on the day itself which includes all 31 museums, 5 after parties, and shuttles. For more information visit www.museumnightfever.be.
