StuttgART 2: Long Night of the Museums

I already know what I'll be doing in the evening of 17.03.2012, from 19 to 02 o'clock. It's the Museum Night in Stuttgart and there will be up to 90 locations to visit. Basically, it works like this - you pay a ticket of 16 euro and can enter each location as well as use the public transport and the special bus routes. There will be 7 routes around the city, offering different places to visit.


If you want to skip the usual Kunstmuseum, Staatsgalerie, Mercedes-Benz-Museum that are present in each and every tourist guide, here's a variety of more alternative places to see:

- a bunker in the heart of Stuttgart that was used as a hotel until 1985
- the Skateboard Museum, the only one in Europe
- a tour with an old city tram (Oldtimer-Linie 21) taking you to the exhibition of Stuttgart transport history in Strassenbahnwelt
- 20 architects showing their favourite houses - "Short Cuts" in Wechselraum
- The Urban Art Gallery
- a theater performance against prejudice called "Wolfsgeschichten", in Atelier Stuttgart
- tango shows in Tango Ocho
and many, many more...

I missed the past few Museum Nights, but this spring I will be there. I have to appreciate the organization of an event of this scale... Moreover, it's proving again that Stuttgart is a very lively and exciting city. Except in case you decide to stay home and ignore that.

Here's the booklet where you can find information about all the locations, routes etc.
