📅 Saturday, 23 May 2026, from 8 PM to midnight
📍 Louvre-Lens, 99 rue Paul Bert, Lens

For the European Night of Museums, the Louvre-Lens invites you to an extraordinary evening: the Thousand and One Night of Museums. A nocturnal and festive programme inspired by the current exhibition Beyond the Thousand and One Nights: Histories of Orientalisms.

The evening programme promises dancing, listening, dreaming, transformation and creation. Omar Ek, an electro-SWANA DJ, will build sonic bridges between the music of East and West, accompanying visitors throughout the museum. Creative workshops and themed guided tours of the Galerie du Temps are also on offer.

Not to be missed: behind-the-scenes tours of the museum's reserves, scheduled at 6 PM, 7 PM, 8 PM and 9 PM. These visits offer a rare glimpse into how the collections are conserved and studied, including works on loan from the Comédie-Française.

A free, unforgettable evening in an oriental and festive atmosphere at the heart of the Louvre-Lens. Find all details at louvrelens.fr.
