Long Night of Museums

Let yourself be chauffeured by bus through Berlin at night and dropped off at Futurium for a visit: for the first time since our opening, we’re going to be part of the Long Night of Museums. Come along and experience a colourful programme – for families and visitors young and old. On the forecourt, we’ll be staging a living utopia of a mobility-friendly world for you. Join in and share your own views about travel – its joys, its prerequisites, and the privileges of global mobility.

The Long Night of Museums is organised in cooperation with Berliner Museen und Kulturprojekte Berlin GmbH.

Around the world in 180 seconds – and enjoying the sunset with a drink in your hand

Nomadism as an answer to climate change? A swirl of resources to counter waste? A global government for peaceful coexistence? Utopia is a space for ideal concepts. With drinks, food and good music, we’ll be taking you inside the walk-in world map and into a living utopia of the world of tomorrow. A project in collaboration with wamiki and the improvisational theatre group Improvisionäre.
