Museum Night Delft celebrates its fifth anniversary

Museums, galleries and other cultural institutions will open their doors on Friday, October 24, 2014 for museum night with the theme L’heure Bleue – the blue hour.

“It’s always difficult to choose a theme that’s inspiring. Blue is important in Delft with the Delft blue pottery, and it’s a state of mind too, feeling blue. Plus the night starts then, just as the sun has gone down,”says Rene Jacobs, co-organiser. In line with the theme, the ticket, or passe-partout, is a blue light in the form of a clock.

The event has been growing steadily since it began, with over thirty venues on the participants list this year. Royal Delft is taking part for the first time, as is Rietveld Theatre, Kinesis House, Medelsmeden & design and Atelier Indrukwekkend are also new additions to the programme.

The Armamentarium is the central point of this years event, with a line up of music and festivities for both the opening and after party taking place there. Four young talented artists will set up pop-up galleries there for the night, and you will see an unfamiliar beast swimming in the canal. The Build your own Theo Jansen group has been busy making their own animal out of PVC pipes and other simple materials on campus, under the guidance of old TU Delft student, Marc Borger. Unlike Jansen’s original wind-propelled beach animals, this beast will swim. “There’s only one chance to view the animal, and that’s on museum night. I’m very curious how it will look,” says Jacobs.

Your passe-partout will allow you access to different modes of transport. The Kwibus is the party bus which will connect Royal Delft, Science Centre Delft, the Armamentarium and Prinsenhof every half an hour.You can hop on and off an environmentally friendly electric tuk tuk from Doeltax. The canal boat cruises have their own entertainment. You can choose between a cabaret show from Bal & Boy mansor music, tall tales and poetry from Ebben & Smit. Finally, there’s the canal-hopper that can be flagged down for a ride.

There’s a special programme for children, with five venues offering special activities, and a photo competition to keep them entertained.

passe-partout costs €8 before the event, or €10 on the night. Read more about the special expat event here which costs €12. If you’re only interested in the after party, you can pay €5 on the door without a passe-partout.
