Every first Thursday of the month, the Ghent museums open their doors for a
nocturnal event. On those nights, you can admire the current exhibitions and
collections until 10 pm.
Every first Thursday of the month, the Ghent museums are open a little longer,
until 10 pm. You really should experience the atmosphere of late-night culture.
First having something to eat and then discovering some art, science or history
sounds great, right? During the late Thursdays, many museums are happy to give a
little something extra, such as a lecture, a concert or a guided tour. Combine
your late-night museum visit with the Ghent Light Plan walk
[https://visit.gent.be/en/see-do/magical-ghent-evening] and you will have gained
two experiences. If you have bought a CityCard Gent
[https://visit.gent.be/en/good-know/practical-information/citycard-gent], you
will get even more benefits from your card the first Thursday of the month, as
youâll have more time to discover various museums.
Tip: many museum cafĂ©s are also open longer during Late ThursdayÂ

Many museums provide additional activities on Late Thursdays. From lectures and
guided tours to afterparties, there is always something extra to take part in!
