This national event is organized by the French Ministry of Culture. Every year, the European Museum Night is an opportunity to take part in some unique events. The next edition will take place on Saturday, May 23, 2026. Join us at dusk in all the city's museums, for a rich and original program of free admission. On the program COLLECTION LAMBERT - 6pm to 9pm: Opening of exhibitions Kim Gordon - Stories for a body Shilpa Gupta, Geumhyung Jeong, Jumana Manna - Le murmure des Libres Summer antechamber: Melika Sadeghzadeh - Holding on to oneself Intergenerational performance For the Nuit des Musées, the Collection Lambert hosts a collective, intergenerational performance on the theme of taking care of oneself. The fruit of several workshops with artists Charlie Aubry and Maroussia Rebecq, this project brings together students from the Inspire micro-school and residents of Maison Paisible. Together, they explored the gesture of dressing as a moment of dignity, attention and appreciation of bodies: a way of taking care of oneself and others, celebrating singularities, and transforming the time of dressing into a ceremonial of transmission. ANGLADON MUSEUM From 7pm to 9pm A hanging exercise led by Alexandra Siffredi, Museum mediator, with children from the Atelier, highlights the works of the Museum's founders, Jean Angladon (1906-1979) and his wife Paulette Martin (1905-1988), who were students at the École d'art d'Avignon, artists and collectors.
