European Museum Night 2025

The 21st edition of European Museum Night, organized by the French Ministry of Culture, will take place on Saturday, May 17, 2025. A not-to-be-missed event, it enables the public of all ages and backgrounds to visit over 3,000 museums in France and Europe free of charge, in the evening and in a festive atmosphere.

Since its launch in 2005, European Museum Night has attracted large numbers of visitors to a growing number of museums every year. The event's success with young visitors has been confirmed.

On this occasion, the Musée national Marc Chagall invites you to discover its varied and poetic program, around the theme "ablue heart".

Guided tours

6pm, 7:30pm and 8pm
All audiences
Duration: 1h

Come and discover, in the company of the museum's guide-lecturers, the world of Marc Chagall and more particularly his Biblical Message works. You'll be able to admire the permanent collection in all its diversity: paintings, drawings, stained glass, mosaics...

ATELIER GELLI PRINT

6pm - 8:30pm
Family
Museum garden

Dive into Chagall's fascinating world by exploring the Gelli print technique revisited here around the "blue love". The "Gelli Plate" is a flexible, easy-to-use support for printing all kinds of patterns on paper. Children can use stencils and other objects to make prints on a thin layer of acrylic paint. This playful approach allows children to grasp the lithography process, the art so dear to Marc Chagall.

DRAWING WORKSHOP

7pm - 8pm
Adult
12 people max - Reserve your place here

The drawing workshop is exceptionally aimed at adults on the occasion of Museum Night. The activity will begin with an introductory visit during which you can make preparatory sketches in front of the works. Then you can set up in the ephemeral studio to create your composition from these sketches. The creation with dry pastels will focus on the theme of "blue love". The vivid, wispy colors will enhance the beauty against the backdrop of night...

OBJECT OF THE BEAU

9pm - 9:30pm
All audiences

Watch a performance designed by students from Atelier du Beau 2024-2025, in the form of a dreamlike, sensual and sensory tale, inspired by the work of Marc Chagall.

With the participation of José Santoro, student-researcher in composition at the Conservatoire de Nice and Frédéric Piraino, multimedia manager.

L'Atelier du Beau is an experimental educational scheme initiated in 2021 by the Musée National Marc Chagall, in partnership with the Direction de la Culture de Université Côte d'Azur. It enables students of all levels and disciplines to learn about Aesthetics, discover museum professions, and take part in a creative and sensory mediation in dialogue with Marc Chagall.
