Category : Current
To mark International Museum Day, which will take place for the 48th time this year on 18 May 2025, the Lusatian Museum Land working group is planning a special event - an "Open Museum Day". The participating museums will open their doors free of charge on this day and some will offer special events. They present themselves as places of social and cultural exchange and offer special insights into the world of museums with a variety of event formats. In addition to traditional programmes such as guided tours, there are creative hands-on activities, acoustic highlights, culinary offerings and exciting insights behind the scenes. Visitors are cordially invited to discover the treasures of the museums and be inspired by the passionate commitment of the museum staff.
In Germany, International Museum Day is coordinated nationwide by the German Museums Association (Deutscher Museumsbund e.V.) and is organised in close cooperation with the museum associations and offices of the federal states at regional level and the local museums. Museum Day is supported by ICOM Germany. This year, the day of action is being organised under the patronage of the President of the Federal Council, Anke Rehlinger.
