Museum Night Fever

What do you need to get about 14,000 people to visit museums in one night? The answer: 25 museums and twice that many super-fun activities. And it also helps to have a wicked Bulex after-party.

This year, a few more establishments have joined the Museum Night Fever fray: the Museum of Manuscripts, the Parlamentarium and Cinematek. With about 20 other institutions spread all over Brussels, they will be the scene for some unusual museum activities between 19.00 and 01.00.

How about an interactive chess game at the museum for musical instruments? Visit the Museum of the National Bank for some hot cocoa, or watch a fashion show at the Museum for Natural Science.

Don’t forget to hop on the shuttle bus to the Brussels Event Brewery for some dance floor action at the Bulex afterparty. With no less than six rooms to choose from and a dazzling line-up of more than 40 artists, this promises to be a good night out.

There will be electro, there will be dubstep, radio station FM Brussels will take over a room with their DJ squad and much more. dEUS frontman Tom Barman will show off his DJ skills, as will the 40 family members of the Orkestar Braka Kadrievi, a Macedonian gypsy-style brass band.

Get your tickets for both the night and the after-party now: hey sell out quickly.
