The theme of this Long Night of Museums – love – was reflected throughout the programme. The Museum of Medical History offered solace for heartbreak, the Futurium explored the influence of AI on intimate relationships, and the Gemäldegalerie brought to life the sometimes tragic, sometimes frivolous love stories of the ancient gods. Visitors sent love messages in Morse code, folded origami kissy faces and were swept up in the enthusiasm for birds, beautiful old cars or ice hockey. Children also had a great time: they searched for works of art in the Charlottenburg museums, rode on a vintage bus and had fun at the children’s disco. - ![Visitors relax outdoors in front of a historic museum with events and banners for upcoming exhibitions.](https://langenachtdermuseen.berlin/en/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/LNdM25_AltesMuseum_c_Kulturprojekte_Berlin_Foto_AlexanderRentsch.jpg) Altes Museum Berlin © Kulturprojekte Berlin, Photo: Alexander Rentsch - ![At the Crossover Dance Event ‘I am in love with …’, two dancers move closely around each other on the floor of the basilica in the Bode Museum, while a seated audience watches.](https://langenachtdermuseen.berlin/en/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/LNdM25_Bode-Museum_JungesTanzhausBerlin_c_Kulturprojekte_Berlin_Foto_AlexanderRentsch_002_web.jpg) Crossover Dance Event ‘I am in love with …’ by Junges Tanzhaus Berlin in the basilica of the Bode Museum © Kulturprojekte Berlin, Photo: Alexander Rentsch - ![Two women lie on the grass looking at the service plan for the Long Night of Museums, while one of them also uses her phone.](https://langenachtdermuseen.berlin/en/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/LNdM25_Museumsinsel_c_Kulturprojekte_Berlin_Foto_AlexanderRentsch_web.jpg) Meeting Point Museum Island during the Long Night of Museums 2025 © Kulturprojekte Berlin, Photo: Alexander Rentsch - ![Scene from a cultural event with participants exchanging ideas about artworks and information.](https://langenachtdermuseen.berlin/en/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/LNdM25_Museumsinsel_c_Kulturprojekte_Berlin_Foto_AlexanderRentsch_001_web.jpg) LNdM 2025 - ![A red typewriter with a sheet of paper featuring a poem or text written on it.](https://langenachtdermuseen.berlin/en/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/LNDM25_Technikmuseum_c_Kulturprojekte_Berlin-Foto_Carolin-Weinkopf_IMG_3349_WEB.jpg) - ![Crowd at an evening event, view of a statue and a lit water area surrounded by trees.](https://langenachtdermuseen.berlin/en/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/LNdM25_Neue-Nationalgalerie_Skulpturengarten_c_Kulturprojekte_Berlin_Foto_AlexanderRentsch_001_web.jpg) LNdM 2025 - ![Musician Lasca Fox stands under a canopy, singing into a microphone and playing music on a laptop as the sun sets in the background.](https://langenachtdermuseen.berlin/en/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/LNdM25_Museumsinsel_LascaFox_c_Kulturprojekte_Berlin_Foto_AlexanderRentsch_web.jpg) Lasca Fox at the Museum Island meeting point during Berlin’s Long Night of Museums 2025 © Kulturprojekte Berlin, Photo: Alexander Rentsch - ![Five people dance and laugh together in the basilica of the Bode Museum.

In the mild evening air, they immersed themselves in light installations and fog performances or gazed down on Berlin by night from high above: whether from the Humboldthain Flak Tower or the Futurium’s Sky Walk, from the tower of St. Matthäus-Kirche or the loggia of the recently opened PETRI. Many discovered their new favourite museum that night.
