On Saturday, 17 October 2026, Munich's Long Night of Museums is back. From 6 pm to 1 am, more than 100 museums and cultural venues across Munich open their doors - and Magic Bavaria is joining again.


Long Night of Museums 2026 in Munich

At Magic Bavaria, you can look forward to a museum night where you don't just look, but become part of the experience. Discover more than 30 interactive installations, optical illusions, local art and unusual photo spots across 1,000 m². Rooms turn upside down, perspectives shift and you become part of the exhibition.


Photo Spots, Illusions and Local Art at Magic Bavaria


From 6 pm to 1 am, experience Magic Bavaria after dark. Turn your world upside down in the Upside-Down King's Hall, get lost in the reflections of the Crystal Infinity Room or appear to balance high above Munich's Marienplatz.

Our Upside-Down Disco, Ball Pit Mountain Lake and many other interactive rooms will also be open throughout the evening. Come with friends, as a couple or in a group and take photos no one will believe.

But Magic Bavaria is about more than taking photos. Discover local art, optical illusions and surprising perspectives on Bavaria. Many of our installations invite you to experiment, try things out and become part of the scene yourself.
