Museumnacht?
On Saturday November 3rd 2007 Amsterdam will celebrate Museum Night for the eighth year in a row. 42 museums and institutions will open their doors and organize special events from 7pm until 2am! Although the event focuses on a Dutch audience, there is plenty to see and do for non-Dutch speakers.
Try the out-of-this-world film shows in Artis Planetarium, sing your favourite Christmas Carols in the Bijbels Museum, tag along with one of the multi-lingual tours at Museum van Loon, listen to the unique little concerts in the Pianola Museum or have some wonderful cakes at the Rembrandthuis.
And of course the permanent collections and temporary exhibitions of the museums are open and they welcome all nationalities.
Programme in English?
Almost all communication is only available in Dutch. However, local English-language paper Amsterdam Weekly (http://www.amsterdamweekly.nl/) comes to your rescue. They will publish an English language program in their Museumnacht-issue that’s out on October 30th. You can find it in most bars and cultural hotspots around town.
