Nacht der Museen (Night of museums)

One night only! In Frankfurt and Offenbach! From 19.00 until 2.00! 49 museums! Live music, food, drinks, shuttle buses, fun!:) Ticket costs €12. Check the website for details: http://www.nacht-der-museen.de/frankfurt/index.php

I went there two years ago and really enjoyed it. Does anyone want to come along? I suggest meeting at 19.00 at Römer next to the city hall entrance.

I was going to plan a trip out of town, but I heard this was a fun night, so I'll stick around town and check it out.

Hi Cerise,

I am moving to Frankfurt next week and would love to check out the event. Meeting at 19:00 at Romer is fine with me. Feel free to write me on my personal e-mail address for final arrangements: jelena.madir@alum.dartmouth.org.

I am very interested too

please email studio@dejaArt.com for any timetable etc info

Hi all, I am not sure yet whether I would be able to make it but it sounds like fun. If there's a "loop", could you keep me in it for now just in case?

Thanks

hiya, i' fairly new to the club (and to frankfurt for that matter). would love to join you for the MuseumNight. will you post the exact place and time?

I'm studying the events list now. As soon as I'm ready with the plan, i'll post the exact timing. It will probably be around 7-8pm and, as said in the 1st post, somewhere near Römer.

Think you are in the loop if you keep reading the thread - or you could subscribe to it

Great, Cerise. Please let us know!

Jelena

See you there!!

After a couple of sleepless nights I finally finished reading the 77 page programme of "Nacht der Museen". And here's what I suggest:

For those who would like to see the exhibition "Impressionistinnen", i.e. paintings of women impressionists:
1st meeting point at 18.45-19.00 at the entrance to Schrirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt museum
(Römerberg: http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&hl=d...08111&z=17)

For the those who want to skip the cultural bit:
2nd meeting point at 20.15-20.25 at the entrance to Starbucks near Römer
(Braubachstrasse 36: http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?sourceid=nav...bachstrasse+36)

There are 49 museums/galleries/places open this night. Unfortunately this year Palmengarten isn't one of them. However, there are many other interesting and fun places to go to.

Here's my selection of places to see and things to do presented in the order of how this can be done:

1) Sternwarte Frankfurt (Robert-Mayer-Strasse 2-4): a great opportunity to take a closer look at the stars and listen to Blues

2) Senckenberg Naturmuseum (Senckenberganlage 25): a chance to see dinosaurs, reptiles and other creatures; plus get something to eat: "Frankfurter, mediterrane, asiatische Spezialitäten" are offered

(1) and (2) are located relatively close to each other.

3) a ride on an old tram ("Nostaldiefahrt") from Römer to the zoo, etc

4) Zoologischer Garten Frankfurt: enjoy the life orchestra music, get something to eat & drink and listen to stories ("Lagerfeuer mit Stockbrot und Geschichten")

5) a ride on an old train ("Historische Eisenbahn") running from Römer to Westhafen Tower

6) And the museums on the Museumsufer:
- Portikus (rarely open to public),
- Deutsches Architekturmuseum (animated movies, food & drinks in a police custody bar is open from 7pm to 1am)
- Deutsches Filmmuseum (Japanese animation, Japanese Music, free photo shooting with Heidi)
- other...

7) A trip on a shuttle-boat from Eisener Steg to Städel museum and back

There are several options of how to get from one place to another:
- Shuttle buses operate between 7 pm and 2 am
- Walk
- And as mentioned above, there are historic tram & train and a shuttle boat available

Tickets:
- Tickets cost 12 € and are available at all participating houses, at Ticket online and also at ticket agencies in Frankfurt. - Tickets are also available in the night of 26th April at all museums from 7 p.m.
- The purchase of a ticket allows one person entrance to all participating houses listed in this booklet as well as unlimited use of shuttle buses, shuttle ships and the historical railway

Other info:

PS If you are afraid to get lost or don't yet know anyone, you are welcome to PM me (send me your contact details) and I'll send you mine.

It will be fun!

PPS For you info: there's no way we'll manage to see it all.

Whoop whoop I definitely want to do that I won't make either of the meeting times so I'll give you a bell to check where you are

Perhaps I'll get some camp fires yarns for a certain big event in the not too distant future!

Hi Cerise,

I would love to come, but don't know anyone yet. I am flexible as to the stuff to see, so it would be great if you could let me know where you will be starting off. My e-mail address is: jelena.madir@alum.dartmouth.org; it would be great if you could e-mail me and let me know about the meeting spot.

Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow,

Jelena

It sounds like fun, and I hope to be able to join too. I'll try to come up to the second meeting point.
