Coinciding with Museums at Night, The Night Museum explores the hidden, the illicit, and the lost, bringing voices, music and parties inside the walls of the museum like never before.

Event line-up (all free)

The Museum of Lost Sounds
Saturday 29th October – from 7.30pm

This late night public event will explore the dark and lost borders of music, sound, art and film, in partnership with Illuminations Festival. Contributors include Cosmo Sheldrake, Forest Swords, Yuri Suzuki, Sarah Angliss, School of Noise, Nick Luscombe and more.

The Museum of Dark Places
Wednesday 2nd November – from 7.30pm

The Night Museum will break out of the museum and invite nocturnal visitors to accompany us on a programme of night walks, readings and performances – a journey of discovery into the dark heart of the city, curated by Jes Fernie. With performances by Nicky Deeley and Tazelaar Stevenson, and Musarc, a programme of talks and readings with Matthew Beaumont, Caroline Edwards, and John Price, secret bars, and walking tours of the city at night by Rosie Oliver and Dotmaker Tours.

The Museum of Last Parties
Friday 4th November - from 7.30pm

For one night only we will revive London’s lost nightlife in this mass public event. At the Museum of Last Parties, the end of the night at iconic clubs and nightspots will never quite be reached - the bands play on, the dancers keep dancing, time has been called but the bars are still serving. Visitors will dress up, dance on, and step back in time, paying homage to London’s club culture. Curated by Shunt cofounder Andrew Rutland and Martin Green, co-creator of the infamous 90’s nightclub Smashing, The Museum of Last Parties celebrates the history, diversity and excitement of nightclubbing.
