Nacht der Museen 2025
Guided Exhibition Tours & DJ Ferry Ultra
For the Night of Museums 2025, the Kestner Gesellschaft is showing the solo exhibitions Cue the Cue by Jack O'Brien and The Rivers They Don't See by Som Supaparinya as well as the façade and performance project Don't Let Them Shoot the Kite by Göksu Kunak. The new, barrier-free exhibition space Passage, designed by architect Assaf Kimmel, offers an insight into the archive and ephemera from the history of the Kestner Gesellschaft.
From 6 to 8 pm, Alexander Wilmschen (Interim Director & Curator), Emilia Annabella Radmacher (Assistant Curator) and Gabriele Sand (freelance art education assistant) will be offering short tours of the individual exhibitions.
From 6 to 8 pm, children and families can design their own posters in an open workshop with D.I.Y. creative posters in the Passage.
From 8.30pm, DJ Ferry Ultra will be creating a party atmosphere with a mix of house, soul and funk!
