"Long Night of Museums" Celebrates Its 25th Edition in 2025

Hundreds of thousands of people visit one or more of hundreds of exhibitions across the country late at night: This sight will also be seen this year when ORF and its partners invite you to the 25th edition of the "Long Night of Museums." It takes place on Saturday, October 4, from 6 PM to midnight. With a ticket costing 19 euros, you are entitled to visit around 650 participating museums in Austria as well as parts of Slovenia, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, and Germany.

Admission is free for children up to the age of twelve. For them, 290 museums offer child-friendly additional programs. To provide an overview of the offerings, which range from cultural giants like the Kunsthistorisches Museum Wien (KHM) to more unusual ones like the Museum of Contraception and Abortion, a "Museum Meeting Point" is set up in the state capitals (except Bregenz) as well as in Dornbirn and Krems. There, in addition to information on programs and bus and walking routes, tickets are also available. Information can also be found in advance at https://langenacht.ORF.at.

ORF Chief on "Long Night of Museums"

"The 'ORF Long Night of Museums' is so special because it allows us to experience the diversity and richness of the Austrian museum landscape in just one night," stated ORF Director General Roland Weißmann in a press release, promising "unforgettable impressions."

ORF III aims to spark interest in visiting museums from September 29 to October 3. Ani Gülgün-Mayr and Patrick Zwerger-Holder will travel across Austria for the cultural channel, reporting daily from various cultural institutions in the country, where they will provide insights into exhibitions and engage in conversations with curators, museum directors, and artists.
