On 28 March, when all the lights go off, several museums and cultural venues in The Hague will open their doors for the youngest ones among their audience for the Museum Night Kids. Children between 3 and 12, together with their parents, are invited to wander through the exhibition halls at night, join creative workshops, watch dance performances, and learn about art and culture in a fun and playful way. Especially for the little night owls, there is even an after-party! An evening like this is organised only once a year, so make sure your little ones don’t sleep through it!
