Zurich's Long Night of Museums

The Empty Museum – Resonance, Sculpture, and Dance

For the Long Night, our museum is exceptionally empty! We are in the process of preparing for the upcoming exhibition and are taking this unique opportunity to bring the empty exhibition space on the ground floor to life with exciting activities: from an interactive dance workshop to relaxing sound bath sessions, and collaborative paper sculpture creation in the space. Stop by – we look forward to seeing you!

*** For this event a ticket is mandatory ***

Together with the art educators, we will use different types of paper to fold imaginative sculptures that we will set up in the empty space. Our own exhibition can be viewed until 1am Collaborative works are very welcome!

Drop-in Tanz-Workshop – Dancing the empty museum

• Venue: Ground floor of the museum, rear room
• Time: 7-7.30 pm // 8-8.30 pm (each session lasts 30 minutes)
• For: everybody and all ages
• Language: English

Join dancer and choreographer Marine Besnard for a unique movement exploration in the heart of an empty museum. Participants are invited to experience their bodies as living sculptures within the surrounding space. The session begins with tuning into our own bodies—sensing them as unique vessels and discovering movements that arise from within. From there, we’ll create shapes, spirals and lines, composing a living work of art in the museum's empty space. No prior dance experience needed—just curiosity and a willingness to move!

Lie down, relax and listen to the sounds: In the hustle and bustle of the Lange Nacht der Museen, the sound bath sessions offer a moment of peace. During the sessions Tina Marie is playing singing bowls and various instruments at different frequencies, which have a soothing effect on body and mind.
