The 16th edition of Museum Night Fever welcomed 17,203 participants in 33 Brussels museums on Saturday evening, a record attendance figure, the Brussels Museums association, which coordinates the event, said on Sunday.
Night owls, 73% of whom were between 18 and 35 years old, discovered on average two to three museums in the evening, thus totaling 64,149 visits between 7:00 p.m. and 1:00 a.m., specifies Brussels Museums in a press release. Two afterparties, at C12 and Botanique, then extended the night.
The most visited museums of the evening were Bozar (7,321 visitors) and the BELvue museum (7,233). The Museum of Natural Sciences, for its part, attracted 4,085 onlookers, followed by the Museum of Musical Instruments (MIM) with 3,759 visitors. The Maison Autrique recorded 795 entries, and the Museum of Freemasonry 730, “good numbers for a first participation”, estimates Brussels Museums.
The curious were able to move between the different locations aboard the shuttles offered by STIB. The Tram Museum, which participated in the event with its historic buses, delighted strollers looking for a journey through time between two museums.
The event aims to introduce museums differently, breaking the codes and transforming cultural institutions into places of celebration and wonder. From concerts to installations, from circus to screen printing, from brick making to dance, Museum Night Fever offered the public a concentrate of the emerging Brussels art scene.
