The city of Düsseldorf is set to host its annual Night of Museums event on Saturday, April 26th.

The historic little castle of the district government on Cecilienallee will feature a DJ and a selfie mirror, and the central info station and shuttle bus hub for the Night of Museums will be at Grabbeplatz between Kunsthalle and K20[1].
